Course Overview

You’ll be introduced to a range of therapeutic approaches, including cognitive, behavioural and person-centred approaches, before specialising in integrative approaches.

This is not a professional integrative counselling course (please see our BA (Hons) Counselling and Therapeutic Practice). Our BPS-accredited Psychology with Counselling degree is an excellent foundation if you are considering a career in the social care sector. Graduates can build careers in clinical and counselling psychology in particular, after postgraduate experience and possibly Masters-level study. 

A key element is the hands-on experience you’ll gain throughout your studies. You’ll be offered clinical experience on campus and have access to a range of exciting opportunities, including completion of specialist short courses, professional certificates and work placements – another great boost to your CV.

You will complete all key areas in psychology necessary to gain British Psychological Society accreditation. This includes research methods, cognitive, social, biological, developmental and individual psychology. You will complete a final year dissertation which will allow you to explore a topic of your choice in more depth by doing a research project. Additionally, you will be introduced to a range of therapeutic approaches (including cognitive-behavioral and person-centred approaches) before specializing in integrative approaches in years two and three.

Teaching

The Psychology with Counselling degree is delivered through lectures, seminars, workshops, individual/small group supervision, and independent study. You will also have the opportunity to attend guest lectures given by academic staff from other institutions and professional psychologists who work in different areas of practise. Additionally you will complete group tutorials and seminars with accredited counselling practitioners and will explore different theoretical approaches through class discussions and practical activities.
