Course info

BSc (Hons) Psychology and Counselling is an excellent starting point if you’re interested in understanding people, supporting mental health and building a career in psychology and/or counselling professions. This course is weighted as 60% psychology and 40% counselling.

The course is accredited by the British Psychological Society (BPS), which is important if you plan to continue your training after graduation and is ideal if you’re thinking about becoming a Counsellor, Psychotherapist, Counselling Psychologist, or progressing to postgraduate study in psychology or related fields.

Learning is interactive and hands-on. You’ll take part in group projects, class discussions, and counselling skills practice, helping you gain confidence and experience working with others.

You’ll study psychological theory, develop research skills alongside counselling approaches and ethical practice. This balance means you graduate with strong analytical, research, and interpersonal skills, opening up a wide range of career and study options.

You’ll be taught by a team of experienced psychologists and qualified counsellors, so your learning is closely linked to real-world practice. Teaching includes lectures, interactive seminars, online learning activities, and recorded lectures to support independent study—helping you build the study skills needed for postgraduate education.
