Course content

Health psychologists promote healthier lifestyles. They try to find ways to support people to improve and maintain their health and also to improve the healthcare system as a whole. For example, helping people to lose weight or stop smoking, or advising healthcare providers on better ways to communicate with their patients.

Our Masters in Health Psychology will develop your skills to help people improve and manage their health. You’ll learn to use psychology to promote general wellbeing and understand physical illness. You’ll help people deal with the psychological and emotional aspects of health and illness, and to support people who have long-term conditions.
