Counselling (Taught)

Overview

Now, more than ever, there is an increasing demand for compassionate and skilled counsellors and practitioners to play a vital role in promoting psychological wellbeing and mental healthcare. If you're passionate about therapeutic care, our Counselling MSc will bring you a step closer to a career in counselling or clinical psychology to meet the growing demand for mental health care.

On this course, you will develop your theoretical and practitioner knowledge, debate issues and trends, as well as develop critical research skills and knowledge, all of which you can apply to your career in healthcare. The course will prepare you for roles such as a clinical psychologist, counselling psychologist, or therapist, across the statutory, private, and voluntary sectors. You will also be equipped to apply for practitioner doctoral training and PhD research development.

You have the option to study part-time, providing you with a flexible degree that can fit alongside your busy life. After you've completed the course, you'll be able to register for professional doctoral training or PhD study.
