The BSc (Hons) in Psychology offers a comprehensive foundation in key theoretical and practical aspects essential for aspiring professionals. Learners explore inclusive practices and develop personal and professional awareness through reflective practice. Core modules focus on building empathic communication skills to support effective therapeutic relationships and understanding ethical frameworks central to counselling practice. The course introduces a range of psychological and counselling theories, enabling students to evaluate and apply these in real-world contexts. Emphasis is placed on developing research skills and critical thinking through a Pearson-set research project. With a strong focus on self-awareness, inclusivity, and ethical integrity, students will be well-prepared for further study or entry-level roles in counselling and mental health support. The programme fosters growth in both personal insight and professional competence. Students develop skills in communication and interpersonal practice when working with people in distress, across diverse client populations, and in a variety of therapeutic contexts.
