Uni of York - MSc Mental Health and Wellbeing in Education

I recently graduated with a 1st in Education studies and I'm now looking into masters courses for 2025 entry. I was looking at the MSc Mental Health and Wellbeing in Education at the University of York and it looks great so far, I just wondered if anybody is currently studying/has studied this course that could give a little insight into the modules, teaching and assessment types/feedback quality or York uni in general.

Any help is appreciated, thanks :smile:

Hi!

I'm a recent York graduate - I didn't study this course, but if you want to know anything about York in general, please drop me a message! I've got in contact with the programme leader, so if they have any further advice, I will get back in touch!

Hi,

I've had a response from one of our current students -

"Our MSc MHWE course is generally designed for those who have some psychology experience in undergrad or a related degree. One of the main features of the course is advanced research methods, as it is assumed that those admitted are already familiar with psychology research methods. That doesn't mean that with an Education degree you wouldn't be successful but you would need to demonstrate experience with psychology research.

We also have our MSc PiE course which is designed for those without a psychology or PiE undergraduate degree, and is accredited by the British Psychological Society.

The programme you apply for really depends on what you are planning on doing in the future and what your current familiarity with psychology research is."

The student is happy to answer any other questions you might have about the course 🙂
