About this course: Discover how the mind works and its impact on behaviour, while developing practical counselling skills and an understanding of how different therapeutic approaches can have a positive impact on people’s lives. Our modules will teach you:
  • how we process information, communicate, learn, and remember

  • about our mental health, and the impact of factors such as anxiety, stress, depression, and trauma.
Our degree is professionally accredited by the British Psychological Society (BPS). You can also gain additional qualifications throughout your degree, such as a certificate in Mental Health First Aid, to give you a head start in your career.

  • An understanding of the key aspects of what it is to be human - how we differ, how our childhood can impact our adulthood, and how we can be influenced
  • Advanced research skills, including project management, data management and analysis.
This integration of the scientific understanding of the mind combined with an in-depth knowledge of counselling, psychotherapy and clinical psychology will give you a unique, expert ability to apply psychology to the real world. Career opportunities: As this programme combines core psychology with Clinical Psychology, it is unique in giving you the opportunity to pursue multiple career paths depending on your ambitions after graduation.
