Would you like to be involved in this new and rapidly developing sub-discipline of psychology? Health Psychology can be described as:
“the aggregate of the specific educational, scientific and professional contributions of the discipline of psychology to the promotion and maintenance of health, the prevention and treatment of illness, the identification of etiological and diagnostic correlates of health and illness and related dysfunction, and the analysis and improvement of the health care system and health policy” (Matarazzo, 1982).
Pre-master’s
Students with a bachelor’s degree that is not in Psychology or students with a Dutch higher professional education (HBO) degree may apply for the pre-master’s programme. This one-year programme is taught in Dutch.
More information can be found on the Psychology website (in Dutch).
