The Psychological Wellbeing and Mental Health Masters degree is designed to equip you with an in-depth knowledge of psychological theory relevant to the improvement and maintenance of psychological wellbeing and sound mental health in adults. It’s ideal if you are intending to work – or are already employed – in health care, counselling, social care and related areas.
During this course you’ll evaluate, assess, and advance the current understanding of what works in helping adults achieve psychological wellbeing and good mental health. The course will also teach you a range of practical and research-related skills aimed at people intending to work, or who are already employed, in the mental health sector.
As part of the course you’ll engage in a piece of consultancy for an external organisation working in the areas of mental health or psychological wellbeing. This affords excellent networking opportunities. Many students also engage in volunteering opportunities in these areas facilitated by the University.
