Completion of the course will lead to a number of career opportunities worldwide, including in research, teaching, and applied settings. Students might use the course as a stepping stone to specialised PhD study. Furthermore, although the course does not culminate in a practitioner qualification, its content is highly relevant to those who eventually wish to apply for training in clinical psychology, psychotherapy, counselling, or coaching.
The course is taught by a range of experienced psychologists, which includes a mixture of academic psychologists and practitioner psychologists. Our diverse teaching team includes those who specialise in areas such as mental health, psychological well-being, clinical psychology, life coaching, and counselling. Staff in the Division of Psychology are currently undertaking research related to mental health and well-being, including research across different cultural contexts. Teaching facilities include a dedicated laboratory and practical work areas, an observation suite and a vision research laboratory.
All on-campus students are provided with the opportunity to attend and participate in two short one-day inter-professional education (IPE) events within clinical and community contexts within Leicester and/or Leicestershire.
We were among the first universities to offer training in this area at master's level.
Develop a critical understanding of the psychological theory and research that underpin the study of mental health and wellbeing.
