BA (Hons) Psychology and Counselling

... United Kingdom
... Bishop Grosseteste University

Course Overview

Do you ever wonder why is it we behave as we do? How do gangs, teams, and friendship groups form? Do you wonder if smiling does make you feel more positive? Do you often ask more critical questions about life and who we are?

Psychology has a science base, yet includes a balance of liberal arts, technological knowledge, statistics, and computer-based skills. As well as classic psychological theories and research, on this undergraduate degree, you’ll debate social issues, study specific mental processes, such as memory, language, and attention, and broader issues and theories – historical and contemporary. As well as applying psychological knowledge to various subjects, you will develop your skills in problem-solving, data analysis, prediction, and reasoning, focusing on real-world application.

Here at BGU in Lincoln, we ensure you have close support and contact with your tutors, and with small group sizes, you’ll always get the help and feedback you need on your course. We also know how important it is to experience a natural working environment so, through work placements and other projects, you’ll be equipped for whichever career path you may choose after your degree. With research-informed teaching and research-active staff, you’ll receive scientific training and gain an in-depth understanding of the subject's nature while applying your knowledge and theory to real life.

The degree offers multiple rich opportunities to learn and refine practical counseling skills. These skills will be employed in a real-world context when students begin supervised client work with adults in their second year of study. The degree program offers students the opportunity to engage with a contemporary curriculum, informed by the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) Guidelines for Stage 3 Core Practitioner Training (2022), the BACP Gold book criteria for the accreditation of training courses (2021), and the subject benchmarks for Counselling and Psychotherapy (QAA, 2022).

As the programme aligns with the BACP requirements, students can apply for BACP membership upon successful completion. Such professional membership is an essential aspect of ethical practice. Graduates may also apply to sit the BACP’s Certificate of Proficiency test, allowing them to join the BACP register, a public record of counselors who meet the BACP quality standards. This level of BACP membership is often listed as a pre-requisite for employment as a counselor in critical organizations such as the NHS, educational establishments, and third-sector providers of counseling services. Students are also encouraged to apply for student BACP membership while on this course.
