— it helps other students.
This master's programme brings together psychological, biomedical, legislative and social perspectives on mental health. It is made up of taught modules on key specialist topics in psychiatry, along with the practice of mental healthcare, and it reviews personality disorders, phobias and neurotic behaviours together with their signs and symptoms, linking this to advanced study in psychology.
Its aims are to build awareness of evidence-based and emerging practice, to give a practical grasp of methods that can be used in the workplace, and to prepare students to justify therapeutic and drug interventions and to diagnose, treat and prevent psychological disorders. Modules include cognitive neuropsychology, psychopharmacology, counselling and rehabilitation, substance abuse, and mental healthcare legislation, ending with a dissertation.
It is meant for a broad mix of professionals, including educators, healthcare assistants and health and social workers, aspiring psychologists, doctors, nurses and human resources staff. Study is part-time over two years.
