Health Psychology Msc in Northumbria University, Newcastle

Using a blend of research led teaching and practical experiences, on this course you will explore:

• The theoretical models of health psychology and how they are applied in practice
• How individual differences influence health through the lifespan
• The management of health from individual to societal level
• Show psychological factors get inside the body and lead to illness

You will learn from an expert team with a variety of health-related backgrounds and excellent research records. Through our experience and networks we will ensure that you and your learning are at the cutting edge of health psychology.

The programme is a BPS-accredited Stage 1 training to students with undergraduate degrees, that confer the Graduate Basis for Chartership. The course is also offered on a part-time basis, over two years. It is also an excellent start to professional development as a practitioner, upon the completion of Stage 2 training, when it is accompanied by the BPS Graduate Basis for Chartership (GBS)

This full time course is heavily employment focused and will prepare you for roles in the areas of health promotion, healthcare delivery, illness management and rehabilitation.

Previous graduates have gone on to work across a spectrum of health-related psychology disciplines locally, nationally and globally. Their roles have included careers as assistant psychologists in the NHS, charitable organisations and the private sector. Some have moved on to research posts, and others are undertaking PhDs.

The broad skills-base means that health psychologists are also attractive to consultancy companies looking for expertise in training, research or intervention.

You will gain first-hand practical experience of a range of measurement and intervention techniques that are not available on other courses of this kind, and we support you in using these experiences to develop your own areas of expertise in work-based and research settings. Our ecologically valid sleep centre, stress laboratory, and practical sessions involving measuring your own stress hormones and stress-reduction techniques are just some of the unique aspects of the programme at Northumbria University, Newcastle.
