Why choose Clinical Health Psychology and Wellbeing MSc at Middlesex?
This degree course is for psychology graduates or those with qualifications in health and mental healthcare who want to further their studies, knowledge and skills and enhance their career opportunities.
On this course, you'll gain the knowledge, clinical practitioner and professional skills you need for a career working with clients and patients in health-related settings.
Placement
We have strong partnerships with many health psychology organisations which means that you'll be able to undertake an eight-week work placement and gain valuable hands-on work experience. Previous placements have included working in addiction, cancer screening, pain management, exercise, health promotion, stroke rehabilitation, mental health and trauma.
What you will gain
You'll focus on developing your professional skills including clinical, counselling and research skills, analysing and appraising the usefulness and application of psychological theories, and becoming an ethical and reflective practitioner.
You'll develop your skills in intervention, working with clients and developing professional and clinical skills which you can practice on an eight-week professional placement with one of our industry partners. This placement experience can build confidence, provide useful work experience for your CV, and help you build your future career network.
You could go on to work in sectors such as the NHS or the private health sector, charities, organisations and academia.
You could also choose to continue your studies by training as a Psychological Wellbeing Practitioner to work in Improving Access to Psychological Therapies (IAPT) services, applying to study for a PhD or, if you have the Graduate Basis for Chartership (GBC) with the British Psychological Society, you could apply for training to become a counselling or clinical psychologist.
Please note that this course does not itself lead to a therapy practitioner qualification.
Students usually require a 2:1 honours degree or above but applicants with lower or other qualifications may be considered upon interview. The undergraduate degree must be in an appropriate subject area such as psychology, health studies, counselling, mental health, nursing, public health and should have included a research methods component. Particular consideration will be given to performance in undergraduate research methods modules or the dissertation.
