Description

As the primary learning activity for this module, the student will attend the Wellbeing Summer School. The Summer School will comprise a collection of events. The format of the events (e.g., webinar, seminar, workshop, hackathon, keynote lecture, panel event) and the topics covered will vary from year to year. The content will always be related to psychology and wellbeing. Attendees will have to attend the majority of events across the Spring School but may choose certain “tracks” depending on their professional or research interests.

Learning Outcomes

1. Demonstrate a critical understanding of the concept, influences, impacts, measurement and interventions for wellbeing and how that understanding relates to the participants own situation (e.g. professional practice, policy and/or research)
2. Critically reflect on personal and professional growth, identifying areas for future development
