What students say about counselling

I was in the Bedford campus and the student life was limited. This was because many people travelled into uni from their homes. The student union was great at providing activities in the afternoons/ evenings. They also support students. all you have to do is email them or go to social events.

The best part if studying at University of Huddersfield is the teacher support for older students like myself. I love the preparation class for styles, referencing and academic reading it’s a great starter for students of all background.

What students say about counselling

The best aspect of my university experience has been the supportive learning environment and access to diverse academic and professional opportunities. The teaching staff are approachable and knowledgeable, and the university provides useful resources that help students develop both academically and professionally. Studying in a diverse community has also helped me grow in confidence and cultural awareness. The most challenging aspect has been balancing academic responsibilities with part-time work and managing living costs, especially as an international student. While support services are available, clearer guidance on financial support, employability opportunities, and tailored support for international students would further improve the overall experience. Overall, the university is a great place to study, and enhanced support in these areas would make the student experience even stronger.

What students say about counselling

UCLan is a great place to study because of its friendly staff, diverse student community, and excellent facilities like the library and sports centre. It provides strong academic and personal support. One area for improvement could be creating more study spaces during exam periods and adding more campus events to bring students together.

What students say about counselling

Edge Hill overall is a good university. The campus is really pretty and there's lots of places to study. However, halls have had some issues and it's a challenge to communicate with the accommodation and facilities team. My course is good! The student union was a bit of a waste of money because nobody uses it

What students say about counselling

The lecturers are lovely and the course material is good. I think the study could be somewhat more guided, though that may just be the reality of university. I think neurodiverse students, such as myself, would benefit greatly from more explcit and personal guidance

What students say about counselling

It has multiple different campus’s at different locations on london, which is great for when you want to study. The facilities are always clean and staff are generally very friendly. Majority of lectures I have had have been very helpful and you can learn a lot from them. There are also so many great opportunities to help your career development which is great. I think the social aspect of the university needs improving, there are many societies but a lot of these don’t host many events.

Studying counselling

Studying counselling at uni will open doors to a career in a ‘helping profession’, as you’ll learn and practice counselling skills and techniques and develop your ability to critically analyse and apply theory to personal experiences and circumstances. Counselling is often studied alongside other disciplines like therapy, psychology and mentoring, and courses cover topics including mental health and wellbeing, counselling perspectives and therapeutic skills. Many counselling courses also include practical experiences and work placements, giving you the chance to work with real patients and put your knowledge into practice. This broad and multi-disciplinary subject area will help prepare you for a career in numerous job roles, such as teaching, counselling, nursing, social work and youth work. You may need to go into postgraduate study before getting employment in some of these roles.
