Well-being at Work (109N1)

15 credits, Level 7 (Masters)

Spring teaching

This module integrates perspectives on individual and organizational sources of stress and well-being. You’ll use a range of theories, paradigms and state-of-the-art approaches to understand and identify contemporary stressors at work. You'll also consider how individuals and organizations respond to these.

You’ll cover:

• mental and physical health, including symptoms and their disorders
• how these manifest in today’s work environments
• psychological evidence for the suitability of interventions designed to address stress and well-being
• individual differences in diversity and response.

You’ll learn through a series of workshops with lecturing and interactive activities. We create a friendly, participative and inclusive learning environment with a range of diverse learning activities.

In addition to knowledge generation, this approach will enable you to develop transferable skills essential for success at both university and in the world of work:

• personal confidence
• teamwork and collaboration
• self-management
• independent learning.

Contact hours and workload

This module is approximately 150 hours of work. This breaks down into about 33 hours of contact time and about 117 hours of independent study. The University may make minor variations to the contact hours for operational reasons, including timetabling requirements.

We regularly review our modules to incorporate student feedback, staff expertise, as well as the latest research and teaching methodology. We’re planning to run these modules in the academic year 2026/27. However, there may be changes to these modules in response to feedback, staff availability, student demand or updates to our curriculum.

We’ll make sure to let you know of any material changes to modules at the earliest opportunity.
