During the first year, you will practice the counselling skills needed to examine the professional issues that make counselling and allied professions such a challenging, yet rewarding career route. In your second and third years, you will continue to build on these practical skills.
To help you build a deeper understanding of the human mind, you will study social psychology, individual differences, biological psychology, research methods, and cognitive psychology. In addition, we offer modules orientated towards counselling.
These include Core Counselling Skills, Counselling Theory, Ethics and Personal Development, and Personal and Professional Perspectives in Counselling.
The academic team who teach counselling modules are qualified and accredited practicing counsellors. They will lead your lectures, seminars, and practical sessions in our multi-million-pound Science Centre. In the Science Centre, you will have access to our bespoke counselling suite of rooms to develop and practice your skills.
A crucial part of becoming a psychologist is learning to understand, conduct, and analyse scientific research. As with all high-quality undergraduate psychology degrees, this means our courses feature modules that focus on teaching these skills. We take great care in closely guiding students through this learning process (via small group teaching, group work with peers, support clinics, and step-by-step guides) supporting our students in preparation for the increasingly data-driven world.
Practical experience with industry-standard SPSS statistics software teaches students to answer a wide variety of research questions by interrogating complex datasets.
Facilities
As a student on our psychology courses you will have access to a range of psychology technical laboratories which house equipment such as eye tracking, equipment to record physiological measures (e.g. heart rate), virtual reality, driving simulator, temperature-induced pain stimuli, an array of experimental software, and dedicated counselling facilities. This equipment allows us to take scientific measures to underpin theoretical content within psychology.
Throughout your course, you will be introduced to technical equipment as part of your taught sessions. Examples of this could include interactive demonstrations on eye tracking and the Observation Suite, and seminars where students make use of pain inducing stimuli and physiological measures to understand how we can scientifically induce and measure stress. You will also regularly use the counselling facilities throughout the course to develop your counselling skills.
Additionally, when you conduct your own research project in Year 3 you’ll have the opportunity to use the psychology laboratories and equipment to facilitate and enhance your research. Examples of how you may wish to use technical equipment in your research as a Psychology and Counselling student could include:
- Measuring physical stress responses during counselling sessions
- Can virtual reality aid in the counselling process for treating phobias?
The psychology resources are supported by dedicated psychology technicians who will deliver technical sessions and will train and support you in your use of the resources.

Academic year
The course operates on a modular basis that provides flexibility and choice. Typically the majority of modules are 20 or 40 academic credits. Each credit taken equates to a total study time of around 10 hours. Total study time includes scheduled teaching, independent study, and assessment activity. Full-time students take modules worth 120 credits per year, with part-time students taking proportionately fewer credits per semester. All students take a total of 120 credits per level and 360 credits for the degree as a whole. Your overall grade for the course and your degree classification is based on the marks obtained for modules taken at levels 5 and 6. The full-time course has one start point in September.
