Overview

The primary goal of health psychology is to contribute to the understanding of how physical, intellectual, emotional and spiritual factors influence health and illness within a sociocultural framework.

If you have an interest in how psychology affects health and illness behaviour, and how it can be used to enhance wellbeing and encourage healthier lifestyles, this Health Psychology course at Liverpool John Moores University is ideal. If you intend to, or currently work with clients with long term conditions, you will also benefit from the course.

Career

Health psychology graduates work in a variety of areas. Many go on to Stage 2 training and subsequently achieve Chartered Psychologist status and become HCPC Registered Health Psychologists.

Post MSc, some students work in research settings and go on to doctoral research (PhD/Professional Doctorate in Health Psychology).

A growing number of graduates work in health education, health promotion, health administration and health audit, others are involved in the organisational aspects of delivering health care and work within the health service.
