Program Description

Health and wellbeing have never before been so prominent in the ways we seek to evaluate and assess human experience. This course is designed particularly for students already qualified at Level 5 in a subject such as counselling, health and social care, or social and community work, and it explores health and wellbeing from the perspectives offered by psychology. You’ll consider how psychological theory and research provide an understanding of health and wellbeing as situated and experienced in multiple social, political and economic contexts. You’ll also discover how psychology is applied within professional settings, through practices such as health psychology, counselling psychology and clinical psychology, to address health and wellbeing challenges. The core ethos of the programme is to develop critical thinkers who will bring these perspectives to their current practice or intended profession. We’ll support you to develop the skills needed to work effectively within evidence-based practice frameworks that draw on research evidence, clinician expertise, and client perspectives and values. Your research skills will be developed through an independent project on a topic of your choice, as you learn how psychological interventions and therapies are designed, delivered and evaluated. The course offers graduates career prospects in services providing support for, and promotion of, mental and physical health in a broad range of settings including health, education and social care in the NHS and charitable sectors. Completion of this degree will also provide you with a firm foundation for progression to further postgraduate or professional study, such as our MSc Psychology conversion course, or a research degree.
