Health Psychology is a relatively new and rapidly growing discipline, concerned with the application of theories and methods of psychology to issues of health, illness and the provision of healthcare. The programme is designed to provide a thorough grounding in theory, research and practice in health psychology and to equip students with transferable professional and practical skills appropriate to a career in health psychology. This course is accredited by the British Psychological Society (BPS) and provides Stage 1 training towards achieving full membership of the BPS Division of Health Psychology, and registration as a Health Psychologist with the Health Professions Council (HPC). We particularly welcome graduates with appropriate experience in health psychology, and those who have been employed as health psychologists for some time are welcome to apply. Previous successful applicants have had a wide range of health-related experience including working as nurses, health care assistants, admin in a health setting, health promotion, psychology assistant posts, research assistants, teaching. More recent graduates with an academic background incorporating health psychology with a clear plan for acquiring health-related work experience alongside the programme are also welcome to apply.
