Bachelor of Science - Psychology with Health and Wellbeing in Society (Honours)

This combined honours route sets scientific psychology — the full methods-trained core with its empirical dissertation — alongside the study of health and wellbeing in social context: health behaviour and inequality, community wellbeing, health promotion and the social determinants that decide most health outcomes before any clinic is involved.

The pairing tracks where health employment is actually growing: prevention, behaviour change and community intervention now absorb graduate roles across the NHS, councils and the third sector, and the course’s psychology-led weighting keeps professional accreditation pathways open — a status to confirm current at offer — while the health strand supplies the applied vocabulary those services recruit against.

A pathway note that widens options later: the combined transcript reads persuasively for public-health master’s admissions as well as psychology ones, effectively holding two postgraduate doors open where single-subject peers hold one — useful insurance in professions whose funnel points narrow sharply — and the £16,800 fee matches the psychology family’s standard rate across the three September cycles recorded.

Coursework moves between laboratory and community registers — designing behaviour-change interventions, evaluating wellbeing programmes, analysing health data — and dissertation topics typically sit at the junction: adherence, health anxiety, digital wellbeing, community resilience, giving graduates applied evidence for health-sector interviews.

Entry roles span wellbeing coaching, health promotion and recovery support at £20,000–£24,000, with clinical-psychology and public-health master’s routes both reachable from the combined base. As a completed honours degree the award carries Graduate Route eligibility — 18 months under the rules governing applications from 2027 — and taught study visas exclude dependants throughout.
