De specialisatie Clinical and Health Psychology bereidt je voor op een promotieplaats. Je leert academische en onderzoeksvaardigheden op een hoog niveau. Je doet diepgaand onderzoek binnen de context van ‘de zelf-regulatie in gezondheid en ziekte’. Onderwerpen die je onder de loep neemt zijn onder meer: stress, symptoomperceptie en ziekte, de dynamiek van gedragsverandering en het omgaan met (chronische) ziekten. Je leert veel verschillende onderzoeksmethoden en -technieken, zoals het uitvoeren van klinische trials, neuro-imaging, en longitudinaal survey of interventie-onderzoek. De opleiding biedt tevens voldoende keuzeruimte om je ook te kunnen kwalificeren voor de postdoctorale opleidingen in de Gezondheidszorg.
Programme
The specialisation involves the following parts:
- General courses
- Specialisation-specific courses
- Electives
- Research Internship/Thesis
General courses
The general coursework (40 ECTS) consists of advanced training in academic and research skills. The design and timing of these courses is such that students can immediately apply their newly acquired skills to their own research project. Besides lectures, the programme offers seminars, work in small groups, and practicals.
Specialisation-specific courses
The obligatory specialisation-specific coursework (20 ECTS) consists of four advanced content-specific courses, in which students acquire in-depth knowledge of a range of theories, issues and research domains in clinical psychology and health psychology.

Electives
Students can choose electives (20 ECTS) from the range of modules offered in the different (research) master’s programmes at the Institute of Psychology, either to concentrate further on the specialisation of their choice (by choosing additional specialisation-specific electives), to acquire additional training in specific research techniques, or to broaden their view.
Research internship and master’s thesis
Students spend most of the second year on a supervised research internship (20 ECTS] and a master’s thesis (20 ECTS). During the first semester, the research internship focuses on the preparation of a literature review and the development of a research question, resulting in a written research proposal. During the second semester, students implement the research, collect and analyse the data, and write their thesis.
