This innovative course brings together the fields of behaviour change and health, opening up a multitude of career options where you can apply your knowledge and skills to help promote health, modify behaviour and engender real change.
Designed to integrate with current public health policy, this Master’s gives you a firm understanding of the systematic application of behaviour change theory and methods to design, implement and evaluate interventions that are impactful on health. It offers invaluable opportunities to further your career prospects through placement and research project units including developing your practical skills and links with NHS organisations, researchers and clinicians in high-interest areas such as obesity, type 2 diabetes mellitus, old age, stroke and cancer. Your behaviour change skills are also developed through placement opportunities in our community clinic, which supports local community special populations, using physical activity to improve function.
The normal entry requirements for postgraduate degrees are a good Honours degree in an appropriate subject from a recognised university: 2:2 for taught degrees; 2.1 for Master’s by research.
