Applied Positive Psychology MSc Anglia Ruskin University

Program Description

Positive psychology is the science and practice of happiness and wellbeing. It studies the strengths, virtues, and methods, tools and activities to improve wellbeing and create positive interventions. Our Masters in Applied Positive Psychology helps you investigate the science behind how we can prepare for more successful lives and better well-being, through challenging existing cognitive and emotional patterns and encouraging positivity with evidence-based activities. By studying Applied Positive Psychology at ARU, you’ll be introduced to research and interventions around topics like positive and negative emotions, character strengths, motivation, resilience, creativity, wisdom and other conditions shown to make a difference to the lives of individuals, groups and organisations. You'll constantly test your skills and apply them to real-life situations, coming to understand which tools and strategies to use in delivering meaningful, high-impact interventions.
