On this course, you’ll take a biopsychosocial approach to understanding human performance psychology and health-related behaviours, developing core knowledge and critically reflecting on the many interlinking pathways to health, stress and performance.
You’ll learn the key theories, mechanisms, and practical applications of human performance psychology, such as cognitive behavioural approaches, biological mechanisms and social impacts.
Alongside building academic knowledge of human performance psychology, we’ll also help you to develop essential skills in critical analysis, project leadership and problem-solving skills. These skills are highly transferable and will help you in your future career.
