Health psychology is concerned with understanding how biology, behavior, and social context influence health and illness. Health psychologists work alongside other medical professionals in clinical settings, work on behavior change in public health promotion, teach at universities, and conduct research. Although its early beginnings can be traced to the kindred field of clinical psychology, four different divisions within health psychology and one allied field have developed over time: clinical health psychology, occupational health psychology (an allied field), public health psychology, community health psychology, and critical health psychology.

Most US universities will have a page on their website, under admissions, for international students. It will list out what is required, as that can vary by university; but in general, you'll need to take the TOEFL test to prove your English fluency, and the SAT or the ACT as your entrance exam. You can take these exams in Norway. They will also want certified translated copies of your grades/transcripts.

Part of what makes going to film school so valuable is the contacts you make. So you want to attend the best film school in the region in which you hope to work, post-graduation. Know that some universities actually offer film as a major. Others put it under theater. With that said, the best film schools in N. America are: -New York University -University of California, Los Angeles -University of Southern California -Vancouver Film -The North Carolina School of the Arts -California Institute of the Arts -Columbia University -U Texas Austin -Florida State And tuition varies. For example, tuition at a school like NYU or Columbia is quite high. U Texas Austin and Florida State, because they are public (state supported) schools, are lower cost. You can check the web pages for each university to see how much it will cost. And of course, apply for financial aid, which will help. As for what courses to take: obviously, take courses related to film and tv production. Also take courses in media history and criticism, and in writing (scriptwriting, etc.) Beyond the obvious, you could take course in theater, and general education courses such as history, English, foreign language, math and business. All of these would make you a better director.
