MSc Psychology of Mental Health

The need to understand and help address people’s mental health issues is growing.

Societies are facing a mental health crisis, an aging population, and increasing inequalities.

This course will prepare you with the necessary theory and research skills required to understand and investigate the determinants of people’s mental health. It also provides a pathway to study at PhD level, for those looking to specialise in a doctorate in clinical psychology. It is currently the only psychology master course in Scotland to offer work experience over two semesters as part of a non-clinical research or work-based placement.
