Course summary

Discover how psychology is applied to health or clinically-related issues. Our BSc (Hons) Psychology with Clinical & Health Psychology degree is designed to help you explore concepts and theories of the mind and behaviour and their application to human functioning. You will be introduced to the psychology of mental health and wellbeing, the psychological basis of clinical disorders, and psychological experiences of living with chronic health conditions. You will be taught by experts who are carrying out world-leading research in their field. They’ll help you investigate different areas by asking why. Why do mental illnesses occur? Why don’t we exercise as much as we should? And we’ll also ask how. How can we support people living with chronic conditions? How can we encourage people to live more healthily? Developing research skills is vital too. We’ll help you explore the latest methodologies. At the same time, you’ll develop career skills in creativity, critical thinking and communication. As you discover what influences thoughts and behaviours in clinical and health settings, you’ll be able to test your skills hands-on. The BSc (Hons) Clinical & Health Psychology course includes a work placement option and you will have the opportunity to engage in research work which will bring your specialist subject knowledge to life. This course meets the requirements for accreditation with British Psychological Society (BPS) and is subject to approval.
