To help you build a deep understanding of the human mind you’ll study social psychology, individual differences, biological psychology, research methods and cognitive psychology. The course is perfect if you are interested in working with people experiencing difficult circumstances and is an ideal basis for further study to qualify as a counsellor.<br/><br/>Completing this degree means you can apply directly to Masters or postgraduate counselling courses that lead to British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) registration. In doing so, you will shorten your route to a full professional status by at least a year. If you decide not to pursue the further training necessary to become a professional counsellor or psychotherapist, you will still develop key academic competences, such as self-understanding, communication and relationship skills that are vital to employment success. <br/><br/>You’ll be taught by an expert teaching team which includes senior academics carrying our cutting edge research in their field as well as professional practitioners with industry experience. This includes fully qualified and practicing counsellors and psychotherapists. <br/>The counselling modules are a unique blend of academic, personal and professional learning. You will learn about different theories of counselling and the area of ethics. You will be introduced to ways in which you can become more self-aware and reflective. The practical element of the counselling modules will allow you to put theory into practice and develop counselling skills. <br/>In addition, you can opt to undertake a placement (sandwich) year. This is a structured work experience opportunity that enables you to develop and implement psychology-specific and transferable skills whilst getting experience in a professional working environment.
