Psychology (Mental Health)

About this course

Psychology with a mental health focus brings the scientific study of mind and behaviour into close dialogue with one of the most pressing challenges in contemporary healthcare and society. Mental health difficulties affect a substantial proportion of the population, and understanding them requires both the rigorous empirical methods of psychology and a deep engagement with the clinical, social, and ethical dimensions of mental distress. This specialism prepares graduates to work in settings where psychological knowledge is applied directly to the understanding and support of people experiencing mental health challenges. Nottingham Trent University's three-year full-time degree in psychology with a mental health specialism covers the core content required for a qualifying psychology programme, including cognition, biological bases of behaviour, developmental psychology, social psychology
