Mental Health
The western world has witnessed a significant increase in the number of individuals seeking help for mental health problems. There is an urgent need for effective treatments for mental disorders. The Master of Science in Mental Health provides graduates the education and the practical skills necessary to assess and manage various mental healthcare problems, treatments and systems.
The curriculum and research projects of the master’s programme in Mental Health are closely linked to the Dutch-Flemish Postgraduate School for Experimental Psychopathology, (EPP). Whenever possible, research conducted for student master’s theses are supervised by a member of the EPP staff.
Although in principle all study material is in English, the Dutch language is the standard for the master’s programme in Mental Health. The Mental Health master's programme is available either as a one-year, full-time programme or as a two-year, part-time programme.
