This module aims to introduce the field of health psychology. Students will explore the links between mental processes and behaviours as related to health and illness. This module encourages critical awareness of the role of psychological theory and methodology in maintaining healthy functioning. Topics include theories of healthy behaviour, health enhancing behaviour, health risk behaviour, and rehabilitation. This course will also challenge students to critically evaluate the role that cognition, society and the environment play in the health of individuals.

Health Psychology is a module selected from the Diploma in Health Sciences (Health Management). It enables participants to acquire new skills or deepen relevant skills without the need to pursue a full part-time diploma. Further, participants may choose to complete the remaining modules within the validity period, of 5 years, to be awarded the full Part-time Diploma qualification.
