Study Patterns: Health Psychology MSc (online) - MC8AN

On this page, you will find the study patterns for our MSc Health Psychology online (MC8AN) programme.

These study patterns highlight the modules that you will need study over the next 12 months. Please note that all students are required to re-enrol at the start of every academic year in September and so within your enrolment you can only choose modules for the current academic year.
