BSc (Hons) Cognitive Behavioural Therapy Top up

... United Kingdom
... University of Portsmouth

Course Overview

If you have a DipHE in counselling (or an equivalent Level 5 counselling qualification), you can top it up to a Bachelor's degree on this 1-year course.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) is a technique used to treat depression, anxiety, stress and phobias by helping individuals to understand the way they perceive things that happen to them and around them. It seeks to identify and address negative thoughts that can lead to patterns of negative behaviour.

You'll learn the latest trends and developments in CBT and how to apply them to your practice, with professional development support in the form of workshops, supervision and networking. You'll also complete a research project on a topic that matches your interests and ambitions.

If you're in employment, this course can fit around your working week, with timetabled teaching taking place 1 day a week, workshops on 6 Saturdays throughout the course, and occasional events in the evenings and at weekends.

After the course, you could work as a cognitive behavioural therapist in areas such as education, the police service, the prison service or the voluntary sector. The advanced skills and experience you gain will allow you to work with a wider variety of clients with more complex needs.
