Health psychology is the field of psychology devoted to the study of the promotion and maintenance of health; the causes and detection of illness; the prevention and treatment of illness; and the improvement of health care systems and health care policy.

Health psychology is an area of rapidly growing interest among psychologists and other health professionals. There are no existing comparable programs currently offered in Sydney. It is also possible to tailor the program towards your own specific interests as there are a large range of electives from which to choose.

Comprising the Graduate Certificate in Applied Science (Health Psychology), the Graduate Diploma in Applied Science (Health Psychology), and the Master of Applied Science (Health Psychology), this new course is designed to provide students with an understanding of the theoretical, methodological and practical aspects of Health Psychology.

More information about this program is available at the School of Psychology Health Psychology website and the Faculty of Science course information page.
