Psychology with Counselling

Learn how we interact with each other and about the decisions we make. Study the brain and a wide range of phenomena. Acquire knowledge and skills in counselling that can be embedded in a range of situations.

This course allows you to consider 'big issues' in contemporary psychology as well as studying pioneering approaches and major thinkers. The specialist counselling modules allow you an added perspective and teaches you how to apply basic skills from the counselling room in real-world settings.

Choose modules in your second and final year that suit your particular interests, including mental health and illness, addiction and clinical neuropsychology.
