You study many of the same modules as the Psychology BSc (Hons) on Psychology with Counselling BSc (Hons) in Bradford, plus specialist modules on the theory, ethics and techniques of counselling. Course notes describe your own research and a dissertation that brings psychology and counselling together. The university states British Psychological Society accreditation, giving eligibility for the Graduate Basis for Chartered Membership with at least a Second-Class Honours and a passed project. Notes are clear that counselling psychology training itself comes later, through postgraduate study and supervised practice.
