GRADUATE
MSc Health Psychology
King's College London has pioneered postgraduate training in Health Psychology. Since 1987 the Institute of Psychiatry has delivered a MSc in Health Psychology. In September 2012, the MSc Health Psychology will be re-launched. It's new structure will ensure that students acquire a comprehensive and up to the minute understanding of the discipline in clinical and research contexts.
Graduate research programmes
The Health Psychology section offers research studentships often on a collaborative basis as part of a larger research project. In this way we are able to ensure that students have a dedicated workspace and all the resources necessary to successfully investigate and present their research. New research studentships will be promoted here.
