BSc (Hons) Psychology and Counselling
This BPS-accredited degree stands alone from the rest of the psychology portfolio. It’s mix of psychology, counselling and mental health modules offers a fascinating range of subject matter. This innovative degree allows you to develop a scientific understanding of human behaviour and combine it with a knowledge of mental health and counselling skills. Psychology is the scientific study of behaviour and mental processes, and the relation between the two. It explores how we act and interact, both as individuals and in groups, and the thoughts and feelings that motivate our behaviour. Counselling is concerned with the integration of psychological theory with interventions and therapeutic practice. You will develop a scientific understanding of psychology as a discipline and practical skills in counselling and therapy. Please note: further postgraduate study is required to qualify as a counsellor or counselling psychologist.
