Examine the philosophy, theories, and research concerning the person-centred approach while developing a deeper understanding of the role counselling plays in society. This degree is grounded in the Person-Centred Counselling MSc but in the final year, it has a different outcome with students studying our Specialist Certificate for Counselling Children and Young People. This certificate can also be completed as a stand-alone course for qualified practitioners.We are one of only a few Universities that provide professionally accredited studies in Person-centred Counselling. The comprehensive programme combines self-awareness, counselling theory, practice, and research to enable trainee counsellors to engage with therapeutic processes across different counselling relationships.The programme is validated by COSCA, Scotland professional body for counselling and psychotherapy, and taught by highly qualified, practising counsellors, giving you unrivalled expertise and a supportive environment to advance your knowledge and skills.Our full-time route allows you to gain an MSc in 18 months, with an option to complete the final 60 credits by undertaking a Dissertation/Counselling Related Research Study, or a combination of a shorter Dissertation/Counselling Related Research Study and our Specialist Certificate for Counselling Children and Young People. After completing the programme, you will have the training required to apply for COSCA accreditation as a counsellor or psychotherapist.
