Bachelor of Science (Honours) - Psychology, Health and Wellbeing (Top -Up) (C848)

Health and wellbeing have never before been so prominent in the ways people seek to evaluate and assess human experience. The Bachelor of Science in Psychology, Health and Wellbeing (Top -Up) course is designed particularly for students already qualified at Level 5 in a subject such as counselling, health and social care, or social and community work, and it explores health and wellbeing from the perspectives offered by psychology.

Students will consider how psychological theory and research provide an understanding of health and wellbeing as situated and experienced in multiple social, political and economic contexts. They will also discover how psychology is applied within professional settings, through practices such as health psychology, counselling psychology and clinical psychology, to address health and wellbeing challenges.

The core ethos of the program is to develop critical thinkers who will bring these perspectives to their current practice or intended profession. The University of Gloucestershire's support graduates to develop the skills needed to work effectively within evidence-based practice frameworks that draw on research evidence, clinician expertise, and client perspectives and values.
