Program Overview

The Introduction to Health Psychology module explores the interaction between mind and body in healthcare, focusing on evidence-based interventions for managing stress, pain, and long-term conditions. Through a biopsychosocial approach, this module challenges traditional biomedical understanding of health and illness, fostering critical thinking and analytical skills in healthcare professionals. Led by expert staff with extensive research experience, the module culminates in a 2500-word coursework assessment to evaluate students' understanding and application of psychological theories in healthcare settings.
