Program Overview: Psychology with Clinical and Health Psychology
This BPS-accredited BSc (Hons) in Psychology with Clinical and Health Psychology at Bangor University equips you with clinically relevant skills and knowledge to understand the psychological factors involved in mental and physical health. You will explore how clinical psychology is used to understand, treat, and alleviate disorders and disabilities across different age groups, from relationship issues and drug misuse to learning difficulties and body dysmorphia.
In health psychology, you will examine the psychological factors that lead individuals to engage in health-damaging behaviours, such as unhealthy diets, lack of exercise, or unsafe sexual behaviour, and study how people respond to conditions like stress, heart disease, and cancer. You will also analyse how situations can be improved through psychological interventions such as counselling, mindfulness, and the science of wellbeing.
Bangor University's School of Psychology was founded in 1963 and is one of the UK's oldest and largest psychology departments, with over 1,000 students. In the most recent Research Excellence Framework, 85% of research was rated as either world-leading or internationally excellent, and this research feeds directly into teaching to ensure a vibrant, research-led learning experience.
