BSc (Hons) Psychology and Counselling Studies - with Foundation Year

... United Kingdom
... Newman University

Course Overview

The foundation year provides an alternative route to undergraduate degrees for those unable to meet the traditional entry requirements for a three-year degree and for those looking to build their confidence and academic skills.

You apply via UCAS for the Psychology and Counselling Studies (with foundation year) course and after successfully completing the first year you will progress onto the final three years of the degree. At this point, there may be the opportunity to transfer to a related degree at Newman University. Such a transfer is subject to the agreement of the course tutor and meeting any additional entry requirements. Newman University is located in Britain’s second city – Birmingham. With one of the youngest city populations in Europe, it is a vibrant and dynamic place to study.

Studying at Newman University, you have the advantage of being near the city, but living in, or commuting to peaceful and comfortable surroundings on campus.

General Eligibility

All students apply through UCAS. Students will ideally require 48 UCAS points to access the programme.

Those with significant work and life experience of a complexity that demonstrates an aptitude to study at a degree level, but with no formal qualifications, will also be favourably considered. Different degree pathway options available at the end of the foundation year may have different additional entry requirements.

In order to reflect the higher tariff required for Psychology degree programmes, students will be required to achieve an average of 50% (across the foundation year) in order to progress onto their selected psychology pathway. Students achieving 45-49% will be interviewed by the programme leader or head of the subject and may be admitted onto the programme at their discretion.

Part Time Work Details

20 hours per week.

Language Requirement

  • The University is not licensed by the UK Government to sponsor migrant students under the Student route and is therefore unable to accept applications from international students at present.
