Course summary

This programme is not available to international students. Instead, international students should apply for our international foundation programmes delivered by our International Study Centre on campus. Our integrated foundation degrees are for those of you who possess the capability to pursue a degree but do not have the pre-requisite qualifications to directly apply to your desired course. The duration of the foundation element is one year, and, if you successfully pass, you will automatically progress on to the degree. This undergraduate Psychology with Counselling with Foundation Year BSc(Hons) degree combines the theory of psychology with practical counselling approaches, helping you build the skills required to help people in need. This includes people who have lost someone, gone through a distressing unpleasant experience, or battled an illness. Well look at the science of mind and behaviour – the Psychology side of the course, and at the different types of Counselling approaches. Youll explore a wide range of techniques, including Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), person-centred psychology, and psychodynamic therapy.

Accredited by the British Psychological Society, youll be able to apply for Graduate Basis for Chartered Membership if you graduate with a Lower Second Class Honours or higher and complete the empirical psychology project.

Youll be taught by psychology and counselling lecturers who are experts in several fields and have a wide range of specialisms. They are focused on supporting you, and we have a dedicated Transition and Progression Tutor, who will help you adapt to studying psychology at degree level. Many of our lecturers are members of our Centre for Cognition and Neuroscience, and produce world-leading research in this field, so youll be taught by people at the cutting-edge of their discipline. Some of our final-year optional modules are partly taught by professional clinical and forensic psychologists. Youll also be guided by specialists in subject areas, including biopsychology, developmental psychology, personality and individual preferences, and counselling psychology. Youll use equipment, such as an eye tracker, biopsychological testing systems, and a specialist polygraph, via our labs, while our counselling labs are fitted with microphones, to allow you to act out scenarios to put your skills to the test. The course aims to broaden your skills and experiences to ensure you are attractive to potential employers. You may decide to enter the world of work post-university or explore the subject of psychology and counselling further by extending your studies. This may see you focusing on everything from CBT to person-centred counselling, developmental psychology, biopsychology and psychodynamic counselling.
