Health Psychology

Study the connection between thoughts and actions and how these factors interact with the physical systems of our body. Gain an insight into human behaviour and the underlying attitudes that put health at risk.

You’ll study theories of health behaviour, including health-enhancing activities such as exercise, risky behaviour like smoking, and rehabilitation and learn how to develop strategies to influence others to change.
