BSc (Hons) Psychology (Counselling)

This course is the only one in the country to combine accreditation by the British Psychological Society with modules recognised by the Counselling and Psychotherapy Central Awarding Body (CPCAB).

We’ll cover ethics and theoretical approaches as well as applied modules to provide you with the skills to make a difference in people’s lives. Learning by doing increases self-awareness – that’s why learning through role play and group work is so effective.

Employability

Completing this course doesn’t qualify you to practice as a trained counsellor, it does however set you on this path. Having recognised certificates in counselling skills and studies are the first step to a career in counselling and psychotherapy. Or you could follow a career in clinical, forensic, educational or occupational psychology.

Psychology is all about understanding people – that’s a pretty fundamental skill-set, crossing every sector and industry you can think of. Many psychology graduates put their psychology skills to work in human resources, in marketing and market research, in teaching and publishing. Well-defined skills in literacy and numeracy skills make Psychology graduates attractive to lots of employers and professions, including the Civil Service.
