Position Details (Master's)

Community Psychology offered by University of Brighton  brings social change to the forefront of the way that we understand and promote psychological wellbeing.

Community Psychology offered by University of Brighton provides an alternative to the standard model of psychological enquiry that foregrounds the individual at the expense of the collective, instead contextualising the difficulties faced by particular communities before seeking to develop solutions through participatory and action-oriented research.

Careers

  • The course explores processes of social change and participatory engagement and equips graduates with theoretical knowledge, research skills and practical insights for working in the field of community psychology.
  • It also serves as an ideal grounding for the further use and study of participatory modes of enquiry at doctoral level.
Areas of study
  • Community psychology is a culturally relative discipline and therefore takes different forms in different parts of the world. To help you maintain an open-minded approach to the subject, we introduce you to both local and international examples of community psychology in practice.
  • The syllabus is informed by contemporary research into such diverse areas as homelessness, older adults, disadvantaged young people, LGBTQ mental health, organisational wellbeing and mental health literacy in Cambodia, as well as by the experiences of our teaching staff.
