Bsc (hons) Psychology And Counselling in University of Suffolk

The BSc (Hons) Psychology and Counselling course at the University of Suffolk will equip you with a solid foundation in both psychology and counselling that can provide the basis for a career as a counsellor, psychotherapist and in the psychological professions more broadly. It will provide successful graduates with graduate based chartership of the British Psychological Society, often a mandatory requirement for professional training courses.

Through studying with us you will be equipped with a thorough knowledge of each of the major fields within psychology: biological, cognitive, developmental, and social psychology as well as the major therapeutic traditions within counselling: humanistic, psychodynamic and cognitive behavioural.

In bringing these two distinct disciplines together, the course provides a unique synthesis of psychology and counselling that explores how the knowledge developed in both fields can be used to address commonly occurring psychological and emotional difficulties and enable human wellbeing, resilience and growth.

Career opportunities

Successful completion of the course will not qualify you to practice as a counsellor or psychologist. However, the course is excellent preparation for further study that can lead to professional qualification as a counsellor or psychotherapist such as the University of Suffolk’s MSc in CBT and Counselling. Graduates who achieve a minimum of a 2:2 overall will be eligible for Graduate Basis for Chartered Membership with the British Psychological Society which is a pre-requisite for further training as a practitioner psychologist. Additionally, the course is excellent preparation for “earn and learn” roles within the NHS including training as a Psychological Well-Being Practitioner in IAPT services or as a Clinical Associate Psychologist.

Regardless of where your career aspirations take you, employability is built into the course at every stage of your journey with us. The combination of academic psychology and counselling approaches will equip you with knowledge and skills that are highly desirable in the marketplace including effective communication skills, excellent interpersonal skills, problem-solving and decision-making skills and a good working knowledge of how to design projects and analyse data. On graduation, you will be leaving the University with a degree that has prepared you well for the opportunities of the workplace.
