Counselling and What’s it about?
This is a counselling degree programme designed for anyone who has completed a Diploma in Counselling and is able to work in professional practice, either paid or voluntary, as a therapist.
The length of this programme will be determined by the modules chosen but it is possible to complete in two years, although study can be extended up to three years.
What will I learn?
You can learn about expressive therapies with specific societal groups and explore different approaches to bereavement and loss. You will learn how to evaluate a range of issues related to mental health, with respect to disadvantaged groups in society.
You can select optional modules that offer a pathway to professional training in using mindfulness practice, an exciting approach that is rapidly gaining importance as a group based intervention.
There are also a range of modules available where you can carry out your own investigation, complete a study on secondary data or develop a strategy or policy for the development of a therapy service in a real-world organisation.
Modules include: • Expressive Therapies • Counselling in Context • Bereavement and Loss • Evidence-based Practice
How will I learn?
During the programme, you will experience a variety of teaching methods such as lectures, group discussions, practical work and presentations. Study hours per week depend on the number of modules undertaken.
Can I get work experience?
Many of the modules on this programme allow you to link your learning to the workplace and apply the theory you have learned to solve real-life problems.
In addition, you may also complete a community placement module. This will introduce you to a specific area of employment where you can apply academic knowledge to practice and therefore enhance your employability prospects.
What about funding?
You will normally be required to fund the programme yourself, unless you can acquire funding from your employer.
