About the course
Course summary
Study our British Psychological Society (BPS) accredited MSc Health Psychology course and discover more about how biology, psychology, behaviour, and social factors influence health and illness.
Health psychology investigates how the way we behave influences health, illness and how we care for people living with long-term conditions. Health psychologists use their knowledge of psychology to understand health behaviours and to develop psychological interventions to support behaviour change. They play a vital role in a variety of areas such as:
- Assisting patients with their emotional and psychological needs
- Working alongside healthcare professionals to help them establish clear communication and productive relationships with patients.
- Working with health and social care
