This Psychology and Counselling degree programme will provide you with the opportunity to develop your knowledge and understanding of theoretical, practical and conceptual issues within the disciplines of both Psychology and Counselling. The aim of this programme is to offer students the opportunity to pursue a BPS-accredited degree combining the two popular subject areas of Psychology and Counselling.
The often-lively academic debate that pushes the boundaries between the two disciplines of Psychology and Counselling regarding the nature of human behaviour and different therapeutic approaches has traditionally stimulated an appreciation of perspective-taking, empirical evidence and self-reflection.
Alongside opportunities for counselling skills development and workplace experience, the dedicated Psychology and Counselling facilities and positive atmosphere will offer students an exciting learning experience which is further enhanced by having a team of research-active and practitioner-based lecturers working closely together, as well as with students themselves.
The programme aims to help you to producea scientific understanding of the mind, brain, behaviour and experience, and how they interact with the complex environments in which they exist.
It also aims to develop knowledge of counselling as a social function mediated by individual, societal and global contexts.

Career Opportunities
The postgraduate route is multifaceted, and not all graduates will choose to pursue postgraduate qualifications in Psychology or Counselling. The structure, nature and content of this unique programme allows students to develop strong analytical and transferable skills welcomed by many sectors including Education, Social Care, Nursing and allied professions, Business and HR. Many of our non-standard entry students already have a professional career (recent examples include nursing, physiotherapy, and careers in mental health) and use their degree to further their career.
Students who graduate with a minimum lower second-class honours classification (2:2) are eligible for the Graduate Basis for Chartered Membership (GBC) of the British Psychological Society. This indicates that students have met the curriculum requirements derived from the Quality Assurance Agency’s (2019) subject benchmark statement for Psychology and is often an important prerequisite for students wishing to go on to further postgraduate study or training in psychology.
Over the years, the programme has seen a large proportion of students graduating with 2:1 honours and above, and progressing on to further postgraduate training on BPS-accredited postgraduate courses (popular routes being Clinical Psychology, Occupational Psychology and Health Psychology), as well as pursuing a Masters qualification on the MSc in Applied Psychology or the MA in Advanced Counselling Theory and Research offered at UWTSD.
An increasing number of students are also choosing to pursue practice-based postgraduate counselling training at postgraduate, or master’s level through the postgraduate portfolio offered at UWTSD, and several students stay with us to train for qualification on the MA Psychotherapeutic Practice: Humanistic programme.
