The MSc Health Psychology at De Montfort University explores how psychological factors influence physical health, illness, and health-related behaviours. Students study behavioural medicine, health promotion, psychological interventions, chronic illness management, research methods, behaviour change, and patient wellbeing.
Practical research projects strengthen analytical and communication skills while applying psychological theories to improve healthcare outcomes. Graduates are prepared for careers in health psychology support, healthcare research, public health, health promotion, and progression towards professional health psychology training.
