The two-year programme, offered by the Faculty of Health and Sports Sciences, will commence in Hungarian in the spring semester, while an English-taught, full-time version will be available for international students from the autumn semester onward.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Sz\u00e9chenyi Istv\u00e1n University aims to contribute to the well-being of society by providing a supply of highly qualified professionals and supporting the regional economy. Therefore, the University has undertaken a number of health-related developments in recent years: recently&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/admissions.sze.hu\/the-first-building-of-szechenyi-istvan-university-s-medtech-health-technology-has-been-opened?ckw=bWVkdGVjaCBjYW1wdXM=\">the first building of its MedTech Health Technology Campus<\/a>&nbsp;was inaugurated, serving the region, thus continuing the diversification of its health sciences portfolio.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>From the spring semester, the Faculty of Health and Sports Sciences will launch a new, unique Master\u2019s programme in Health Psychology in Western Hungary. Over four semesters, students will gain valuable clinical and health-focussed skills, available in Hungarian in a correspondence format. The Faculty also plans to welcome international applicants, offering an English-taught, full-time version of the programme from September next year, enabling students to obtain their qualifications through a comprehensive curriculum tailored to healthcare practice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>&#8222;The coronavirus epidemic a few years ago has shown how difficult it is for society to adapt mentally to unforeseen and unexpected health situations, even for doctors and health professionals who often experience health emergencies. By launching the programme, we aim to provide the western region of the country with professionals who are capable of designing and implementing health promotion and health protection projects in the fields of health, education and work,&#8221;<\/em>\u00a0said Dr Ang\u00e9la Somogyi, Dean of the Faculty. She added that, after completing the degree, students will be able to help prevent, deal with and resolve stress, mental crisis or burnout caused by life situations due to illness, either individually or in groups.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/alumni.sze.hu\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/image-4-1024x1024.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-8247\" srcset=\"https:\/\/alumni.sze.hu\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/image-4-1024x1024.png 1024w, https:\/\/alumni.sze.hu\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/image-4-300x300.png 300w, https:\/\/alumni.sze.hu\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/image-4-150x150.png 150w, https:\/\/alumni.sze.hu\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/image-4-768x768.png 768w, https:\/\/alumni.sze.hu\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/image-4-1536x1536.png 1536w, https:\/\/alumni.sze.hu\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/image-4-12x12.png 12w, https:\/\/alumni.sze.hu\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/image-4.png 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><em>The supervisor of the Master&#8217;s programme in Health Psychology, Dr Attila Szab\u00f3 and the Dean of the Faculty of Health and Sports Sciences of Sz\u00e9chenyi Istv\u00e1n University, Dr Ang\u00e9la Somogyi (Photo: Andr\u00e1s Adorj\u00e1n)<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Dr Ang\u00e9la Somogyi explained that there is a substantial professional and societal demand for health psychologists across healthcare, education, workplace, and sports sectors.&nbsp;<em>\u201cThis master\u2019s programme falls under medical and health sciences, giving greater emphasis to clinical knowledge.
