Course content
Develop your skills and knowledge of health psychology
Our research-based MSc Health Psychology provides you with an extensive overview of health psychology theories, methods, and research, as well as statistics and different research methods.
You will learn the skills and knowledge required for Stage 1 training in health psychology, as well as prepare you to progress onto Stage 2 doctoral-level training, which allows you to become a chartered psychologist and register with the Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC).
At the same time, you will develop the skills and knowledge you need to successfully complete an independent health psychology research project.
Our staff are nationally and internationally recognised for their research. We specialise in the provision of rigorous evidence-based solutions to enable people to reach their full potential in their wider lives.
The University of Chichester has an active health psychology research culture embedded in the POWER centre.
