Course summary


Combine your understanding of human behaviour with strong counselling skills. Learn why people behave the way they do. How research helps us to understand human behaviour and the approaches and methods used in counselling practice.

You’ll develop an understanding of human behaviour and combine it with a knowledge of mental health and counselling skills on this British Psychological Society (BPS) accredited degree. Psychology is the scientific study of behaviour and mental processes, and the relation between the two. Using contemporary research, we will give you a scientific understanding of mind, brain, behaviour and experience and the complex interactions between them. You’ll explore how we act and interact as individuals and in groups, and the thoughts and feelings that motivate behaviour. Counselling is about psychological theory with interventions and therapeutic practice. You’ll cover the perspectives of society and healthcare providers, along with the skills to engage appropriately in helping conversations. You’ll need to share personal experiences and support others in sharing theirs. You’ll graduate in a good starting point for people-focused careers like teaching, research, social work, marketing, human resources and more.Our
