New research funded by the Elizabeth Blackwell Institute, University of Bristol Alumni Association and the Rosetrees Trust, has concluded that the University of Bristol’s Science of Happiness course really works, showing that three cohorts of students ended the course with markedly better mental health than control groups.

The first of its kind in the UK, the Science of Happiness course was launched in 2018 in response to a worrying increase in student mental health problems across the UK. It uses the latest peer-reviewed studies in psychology and neuroscience to educate students about what is scientifically proven to make us happier.
