MSc Mental Health and Psychosocial Support

Mental health and psychosocial support is a diverse field with more biomedically and clinically oriented approaches at one end of the continuum, and more social and wellbeing-oriented approaches at the other. This course exposes students to the range of perspectives, emphasising practical preparation to equip students to design and facilitate psychosocial approaches that engage the existing social and well-being capacities of displaced and crisis-affected populations. This is achieved by including a variety of course material and teaching perspectives using real-life case examples, as well as providing opportunities for knowledge exchange through IGHD’s vast network of Mental Health and Psychosocial Support practitioners and academics.

A UK honours degree or equivalent from a relevant subject area (arts, humanities, health or social sciences). Students without an honours degree may be considered if they have other relevant qualifications and/or appropriate work experience.
