The Health Psychology Pre-Masters at De Montfort University International College is designed for aspiring postgraduate students aiming to deepen their understanding of the intricate relationship between psychological factors and physical well-being. You will explore core theories and contemporary practices within health psychology, examining how lifestyles, behaviours, and chronic conditions impact individuals and communities. This programme is ideal for those seeking to develop a critical, international perspective on health and illness, preparing you for advanced study or a career in health and social care settings.
This full-time, on-campus programme is delivered over two semesters, providing a structured yet intensive learning experience. You will engage with compulsory modules covering the biopsychosocial model, the psychology of health and food, and critical perspectives on health. A significant component is the Advanced Applied Psychology Dissertation, an independent research project allowing you to investigate a health-related topic of your choice. You will graduate with enhanced research methods and data analysis skills, ready to pursue further postgraduate study or contribute to inter-professional healthcare teams.
