Psychology and Counselling BSc (Hons)

This Psychology and Counselling degree programme will provide you with the opportunity to develop your knowledge and understanding of theoretical, practical and conceptual issues within the disciplines of both Psychology and Counselling. The aim of this programme is to offer students the opportunity to pursue a BPS-accredited degree combining the two popular subject areas of Psychology and Counselling.<br/><br/>The often-lively academic debate that pushes the boundaries between the two disciplines of Psychology and Counselling regarding the nature of human behaviour and different therapeutic approaches has traditionally stimulated an appreciation of perspective-taking, empirical evidence and self-reflection.<br/><br/>Alongside opportunities for counselling skills development and workplace experience, the dedicated Psychology and Counselling facilities and positive atmosphere will offer students an exciting learning experience which is further enhanced by having a team of research-active and practitioner-based lecturers working closely together, as well as with students themselves.<br/><br/>The programme aims to help you to produce a scientific understanding of the mind, brain, behaviour and experience, and how they interact with the complex environments in which they exist.<br/><br/>It also aims to develop knowledge of counselling as a social function mediated by individual, societal and global contexts.
