Summary
Our Health and Wellbeing in the Workplace course reflects the current demand for professionals with a strategic awareness of the debates, challenges and approaches in the field of individual and population health and wellbeing with a specific focus on the workplace.
Delivered online, from September to May, this part-time PGCert programme allows you to fit your learning around your other work and life commitments. It provides an opportunity to develop your knowledge and understanding of leading and managing change in organisations, taking into consideration a range of health and wellbeing issues.
The course provides an excellent CPD opportunity for those employed in a role with a workplace wellbeing focus who are looking to develop additional expertise in this area.
This programme aims to develop your knowledge of and ability to critically evaluate factors influencing the development of health and wellbeing in the workplace. You'll consider core topics in the sociology and psychology of health and wellbeing, from both national and international perspectives.
You'll explore the various definitions of wellbeing and social explanations for health inequalities based on social class, ethnicity, gender and age. You'll discuss issues including disability and unemployment, sickness/absence, and chronic health issues and look at individualised workplace wellbeing support.
You'll focus on health and wellbeing challenges in the workplace and will share and reflect on your own experiences to allow you to support the development of interventions, policy, strategy and guidance that help address these challanges.
By the time you graduate, you'll be well-prepared to make a positive contribution to further research or practice in health and wellbeing in the workplace.
Following successful completion of the PG Cert, this programme offers a pathway to our MSc Health and Wellbeing.
