Course summary
The programme aims to offer students a theoretical and research grounding in the subject of mental health and its practical applications, building upon the levels of skill and knowledge attained in their first degree in Psychology or similar subject areas or in previous professional training. The MSc in the Psychology of Mental Health aims to draw upon the recognised expertise of numerous research-active staff, provide subject-relevant work placements or research practicums, and will address a broad range of material, including the scientific study of mental health problems, addiction and learning disabilities.
