Health psychology is a rapidly evolving branch of psychology that can be defined as the practice and application of psychological approaches to the study of behaviour relevant to health, illness and health care (British Psychological Society). Your seminars combine formal lecture materials with group work and class discussion to allow you to explore and debate the application of psychology to health and illness.

Social Psychology is an interdisciplinary field at the intersection of Sociology and Psychology, which is concerned with the interrelations among individual, groups, and society. More specifically, it studies how individuals interact with one another, the way individuals influence social groups and vice versa, as well as the dynamics of intergroup relations. The course will provide an introduction to a number of theories and themes in sociological social psychology that link the wider social structure with individual personality and conduct. Its aim is to provide an overview of the principle theoretical approaches to social psychology and how they may be applied to the understanding of social life.
