• Recognition of the importance of developing networking skills and attendance of the Midlands Health Psychology Network conference as part of the course
• Commitment and enthusiasm of the teaching team to providing a supportive student experience within a student centred approach

This course will help you to develop the necessary knowledge and skills to critically evaluate the fundamental theoretical, empirical, and practical applications of health psychology.

Our MSc Health Psychology fulfils the standards of the British Psychological Society masters courses (Stage One training) in health psychology, which with subsequent completion of Stage Two training, equips you for practice as a registered health psychologist with the Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC).

You’ll be taught by a dedicated team of chartered, registered, and research-active psychologists who have expert knowledge of health psychology theory, practice, and research. As part of the course you’ll undertake your own research project, specialising in an area of health psychology that particularly interests you and that is relevant to your career aspirations.

Our MSc Health Psychology combines research-led teaching with an innovative portfolio of assessments to ensure you develop both the knowledge and transferable skills necessary for progression towards Stage Two training or directly into employment. Our focus on professional skills is a key feature of the course.

Health psychology graduates work in a range of settings across the NHS, industry, local authority, voluntary, and academic settings in the application of psychology to aspects of health, illness, and health care.
