Introduction

MSc Psychology of Mental Health and Wellbeing is a Masters program taught at Mohave Community College, USA. Intake: Fall, Spring. The program is offered in campus-based modes with full-time (1–2 years) options.

The MSc Psychology of Mental Health and Wellbeing is a conversion master’s degree that combines core psychological science with a focus on mental health issues, psychological wellbeing, and behaviour change. You study topics such as biological psychology, cognitive psychology, social psychology, developmental psychology, and individual differences, and you build skills in psychological research methods, qualitative research methods, and analysing data.

The degree is delivered as 100% online, distance learning, with flexible monthly starts. You complete 10 modules worth 15 credits each, plus a final 30-credit Research Project module. The course is aligned with British Psychological Society standards, with the application for BPS accreditation submitted and in progress.

It is designed for people who did not study psychology at undergraduate level and want a pathway into psychology. Pending BPS accreditation, it is described as a route towards Graduate Basis for Chartered Membership, and it supports progression into areas such as counselling psychology, health psychology, and roles in mental health services, support work, and community health.
