MSc Health Psychology

... United Kingdom
... Teesside University

Course Overview

A distinctive feature of this course is our commitment to authentic learning. Most of our assessments are linked to practitioner health psychologists' daily work. For instance, you will have the opportunity to design a behaviour change infographic, develop and deliver a stress management intervention, write research proposals and write up your dissertation in the format of a journal article. This moves away from traditional exam-based assessments and allows you to showcase various skills.

Your teaching teams are a strong core group of research and practice-orientated staff covering various topics and research methodologies.

You may also be offered a placement, dependent on availability which helps further prepare you for transition to a Stage 2 qualification by engaging in research or practice whilst supervised by suitably qualified staff.

Increasingly we are beginning to see the benefits that psychology can bring to people’s health. Several of our esteemed colleagues in the UK were instrumental in forming the government’s response to the COVID-19 pandemic through participation in the SAGE committee. Studying for an MSc in Health Psychology at Teesside enables you to join a thriving community of psychology graduates who want to make a difference in people’s health.
