Psychology with Counselling including Foundation Year

Our Psychology with Counselling including Foundation Year degree is for those who are fascinated by how the mind works and are passionate about helping others. This course will teach you all about the brain, behaviour, and mental health. You’ll learn essential counselling skills and study various theories and evidence that explain human behaviour.

This programme is accredited by the British Psychological Society (BPS), ensuring you get a top-quality education. You’ll explore integrative approaches and person-centred therapy, learning about different psychological therapies that help people improve their lives. You’ll also tackle practical issues and gain valuable research skills.

Our course covers everything from neuro-scientific processes to understanding forensic psychology and health-related behaviour. You’ll develop critical analysis skills to evaluate research and understand complex concepts.

The programme aims to produce a scientific understanding of the mind, brain, behaviour, and experience, and how they interact with the complex environments in which they exist. It also aims to develop knowledge of counselling as a social function mediated by individual, societal, and global contexts.

Alongside opportunities for counselling skills development and workplace experience, the dedicated Psychology and Counselling facilities and positive atmosphere will offer students an exciting learning experience. This experience is further enhanced by having a team of research-active and practitioner-based lecturers working closely together, as well as with students themselves.
