Course Overview: Did you know that one in six adults in England have a common mental health disorder and two-thirds don’t receive the care they need? Amid a global mental health crisis, it’s more important than ever to understand the psychological factors which contribute to behavioural and health problems. The broad and fascinating curriculum of this BPS-accredited Psychology degree covers areas such as behavioural problems in children, mental illness in adults, and psychological problems in old age. It examines the psychological factors that lead some individuals to behave in health-damaging ways and what happens when they become ill or disabled. Psychology has been taught at Bangor University since 1963, attracting students and faculty from around the globe. We offer a diverse, multilingual, and inclusive environment to study human behaviour, led by internationally renowned experts at the forefront of research to promote psychological well-being throughout life. On this BSc (Hons) Psychology with Clinical and Health Psychology, accredited by the BPS, you’ll develop clinically relevant skills and knowledge to understand the psychological factors involved in mental and physical health. Clinical psychology is used to understand, treat or alleviate disorders and disabilities in different age groups, from relationship issues and drug misuse to learning difficulties, body dysmorphia and other neurological problems. Health psychology focuses on what causes self-destructive behaviour, for example, eating unhealthy diets, avoiding exercise or engaging in unsafe sexual behaviour, and how people react to conditions such as stress, heart disease or cancer. As well as understanding how things can go wrong, you’ll analyse how situations can be improved through psychological interventions such as counselling and mindfulness, or the science of wellbeing. A wide scope for dissertation topics has led past students to investigate adverse childhood experiences, personality disorders, drinking habits and eating behaviour, to name just a few. Successful completion of this psychology degree confers eligibility for Graduate Membership of the BPS and the Graduate Basis for Registration, setting you on the path to becoming a Chartered Psychologist in any of the main psychological professions (clinical, educational, counselling, health, developmental, cognitive neuroscience, applied behaviour analysis).
