Health and wellbeing have never before been so prominent in the ways we seek to evaluate and assess human experience. This course is designed particularly for students already qualified at Level 5 in a subject such as counselling, health and social care, or social and community work, and it explores health and wellbeing from the perspectives offered by psychology. You’ll consider how psychological theory and research provide an understanding of health and wellbeing as situated and experienced in multiple social, political and economic contexts. You’ll also discover how psychology is applied within professional settings, through practices such as health psychology, counselling psychology and clinical psychology, to address health and wellbeing challenges. The course offers graduates career prospects in services providing support for, and promotion of, mental and physical health in a broad range of settings including health, education and social care in the NHS and charitable sectors.
