The overall aim of the Master of Psychology in Health Psychology programme is to equip students with the necessary psychology knowledge, values, attitudes and skills required to practise as a Health Psychologist. This is done firstly through taught units on the theories and research on health, wellbeing and a lifespan biopsychosocial approach to the development of children, young adults, adults and older adults, as well as a focus on health systems. Promotion, prevention, assessment and interventions for challenges to such wellbeing, development and health will also be explored.
The Master of Science (by research) takes an interdisciplinary approach to addressing current issues of concern relating to the two areas of study, based on the rationale that there are strong interlinkages between environmental, planning, rural, urban, and other social and economic concerns. Learning outcomes include a solid understanding of key aspects of these disciplines and of the complex issues with which professionals are often confronted.
