BSc (Hons) Psychology with Counselling with Foundation Year

The BSc (Hons) Psychology with Counselling with Foundation Year focuses on the study of human behaviour theory through the lens of diversity, characteristic and cultural context.

On the Foundation Year, students will develop their academic, employability, and digital skills essential for higher education study while being introduced to key concepts in psychology and counselling.

The following year of study, they will develop and embed deeper knowledge of theoretical frameworks of psychology and counselling. This will enable them to make links between theory and practice, the focus on research evidenced based outcomes and professional skills required in the sector.

As they progress to Level 5, students will delve into deeper concepts and approaches through topics including the concept of diversity, human characteristics and cultural context, as well as understanding that everyone, family, community and societal group has a uniqueness that makes it different from others.

In the final year, the focus is on research and independent study, allowing students to demonstrate problem solving within psychology and counselling that can be applied to a wide range of sustainable goals, such as social impact, community-based contributions and long term personal and professional development.
