Health & Well-Being

About

Explore the connection between our mental and physical health and our well-being. In this specialization, you will gain an understanding of the elements that encompass human health from motivational and emotional factors to cognitive and behavioural considerations.

Trent Advantage:

A carefully crafted roadmap guides students through core required courses then opens up a choice of advanced courses that expand, refine, and apply those fundamentals.

Get the foundations, then tailor your own specialization experience by choosing courses exploring biological or social areas of psychology including mental health, neuropsychology, sexuality, environmental psychology, and more.

Courses:

Students who have fulfilled the requirements for an Honours degree in Psychology may graduate with a Specialization in Health & Well-being if they have successfully completed 4.5 credits in the specialization category. The same course may not simultaneously count towards two or more specializations.
