Awarded by
University of Greater Manchester
This is the counselling-focused version of the CIRP three-year psychology degree. The first two years are the CIRP Diploma of Higher Education in Psychology (Level 5, 240 credits). The third year is the University of Bolton BSc (Hons) final year (Level 6, 120 credits), for 360 UK credits overall. The final year differs from the general psychology degree. Alongside the Honors Project, compulsory modules cover Psychology of Mental Health, Applications of Counseling Skills and The Therapeutic Process. Students then choose two electives, such as Psychology of Loss and Trauma, Cyber Psychology and New Media, Social Neuroscience, Psychology of Sport and Exercise or Young Life and the Mind. Teaching is by lectures, case studies, journal discussions, workshops, seminars and small-group activities, on campus on weekdays or weekends. Assessment mixes written exams, online essays, presentations, social media projects, mini research projects and a dissertation. CIRP names the next step as a master's degree or employment.

Considered individually by the academic board: a relevant professional qualification plus two years of work experience, or the CIRP Access Diploma to Higher Education.
