Program Overview

The Mental Health and Wellbeing course is designed to nurture an understanding of the factors that characterise and influence mental health and wellbeing. The course aims to provide a grounding in relevant theory and research, as well as develop research methods skills, and an appreciation of real-world practice; all of which is designed to develop graduates with the knowledge and skills needed to make a positive impact in the field of mental health and wellbeing.

Completion of the course will lead to a number of career opportunities worldwide, including in research, teaching, and applied settings. Students might use the course as a stepping stone to specialised PhD study. Furthermore, although the course does not culminate in a practitioner qualification, its content is highly relevant to those eventually wishing to apply for training in clinical psychology, psychotherapy, counselling, or coaching.

The course is taught by a range of experienced psychologists, which includes a mixture of academic psychologists and practitioner psychologists. Our diverse teaching team includes those who specialise in areas such as mental health, psychological wellbeing, clinical psychology, life coaching, and counselling. Staff in the Division of Psychology are currently undertaking research related to mental health and wellbeing, including research across different cultural contexts. Teaching facilities include dedicated laboratory and practical work areas, an observation suite and a vision research laboratory.
