Psychology with Counselling

Our BSc Hons Psychology with Counselling explores the workings of the human mind and brain, and how individuals with mental health difficulties can be helped with counselling and psychotherapy.

This Psychology with Counselling course is ideal for anyone interested in pursuing a career as a therapist, counsellor, clinical psychologist or working in the mental health sector.

As well as preparing you to pursue further training for a career in Psychology, our degree will also help you attain skills that prospective employers in a range of careers find attractive. Modules reflect the breadth of the discipline, from cognitive psychology and neuroscience to developmental psychology and social psychology.

The degree, which is accredited by the British Psychological Society, includes a project. If you pass this and graduate with at least second-class honours, you will be eligible for Graduate Basis for Chartered Membership of the BPS, which is a necessary first step for people hoping to undergo further training to become a Chartered Psychologist.

This degree is accredited by The British Psychological Society. It does not qualify you to practise as a counsellor, psychotherapist or clinical or counselling psychologist. To work in one of these roles requires further training after the BSc Psychology with Counselling degree. This degree is excellent preparation for that postgraduate training.
