Overview
Positive Psychology is a science of positive aspects of human life, happiness, wellbeing and flourishing. The aim of positive psychology is to form a medium in psychology from a preoccupation with repairing the worst things in life to building the best qualities in life. It is scientifically proven that happier people with positive emotions and traits are more productive as they think faster, are more creative, healthier, more successful and more socially engaged.
The Graduate Diploma in Applied Positive Psychology is designed to educate students on psychology and more specifically on positive psychology at a graduate level. This programme looks deeper into practicality and applications rather than just theories to enable students to effectively use and disseminate positive psychology.
Graduates in positive psychology can implement its applications in various areas of human functioning such as increasing personal level of happiness, fostering positive relationships, identifying signature strengths and using them for career and life progression.
As positive psychology practitioners, students will be able to coach others on the disciplines of positive psychology as well as promoting specialized training in areas spanning career, life, mental wellness, parenting, executive & leadership coaching.
