Course summary
How can you support the people who need your service most effectively? How can you work more collaboratively with your colleagues? What counts as therapeutic support for children, young people, or older adults? The BA course is the third year of the programme, consolidating your knowledge and expertise from the Foundation Degree and empowering you to take a more significant role in your agencies. We combine theoretical seminars, practical workshops, work-place learning, and an opportunity to focus on a theme that inspires you most. Your first term concentrates on developing therapeutic techniques in working individually with children and adults, whilst your second involves in-depth study of the dynamics of organisations. This includes theory, workshop and observational elements.
Modules
Many of our courses offer a choice of optional modules to tailor your learning experience. More information about these can be found on the University of Essex website.
