BSc (Hons) Psychology and Counselling

... United Kingdom
... University of Suffolk

Course Overview

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 charters 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 well-being, resilience and growth.

The course examines key topics including the interaction between mind and behaviour, and how the relationship between emotion, cognition, behaviour and context shapes individual motivation and group behaviour. You will also discover the nature and influence of the unconscious, the functioning of memory, attention and perception and how these affect our beliefs, motivations and choices, and how interpersonal processes influence individual behaviour in social situations.

The course is underpinned by a thorough grounding in the research methods currently used in psychology, counselling and healthcare settings. This includes both qualitative and quantitative methods and how these methods are used in the context of developing evidence-based practice.
