Psychology with Counselling BSc (Hons)

Our British Psychological Society (BPS) accredited Psychology with Counselling programme provides a sound education in the scientific foundations of Psychology whilst also introducing you to the specific skills required in Counselling. The programme employs the scientific approach to understanding human behaviour and thought and offers training in the practical skills required for effective counselling.

Within the first two years of study our students develop an understanding of basis psychological processes by exploring core topics such as individual differences, biological, developmental, social and cognitive psychology. In the final year, you will focus on developing applied counselling skills and undertake research related to a topic of personal interest.

Throughout the programme you will participate in laboratory work and work to the British Psychological Society Code of Ethics. We invest heavily in our
psychological research facilities and equipment which includes eye-tracking and virtual reality tools, a psychometric test library and physiological
measurements systems such as EEG. To assist with your practical laboratory work we will provide you with training in the use of our specialist equipment and in the research methods and data analytic techniques used by psychologists and counsellors. The programme will equip you with the basic scientific grounding, theoretical understanding and counselling skills required for advanced-level studies within the field.
