Assessment method

To cater for the wide-ranging content of our courses and the varied learning preferences of our students, we offer a range of assessment methods on each programme. The counselling and psychotherapy lecturers are all practicing therapists, who offer valuable insights into the latest theory and practice. Each module in the first two years is assessed through coursework, using variety of assessment methods including: essays case studies recording of skills work written critiques of skills work reflective work presentations verbal feedback Relational skills are the cornerstone of counselling and psychotherapy. You are part of a community of learners and, as such, are encouraged to learn with and from each other. Peer assessment is a key feature of the course. The final MA year involves four days of study followed by a research project to produce a dissertation, supported by tutorials and other forums.
