School: College of Liberal Arts and Sciences. This 3-year full-time Bachelor of Science (BSc) with Honours in Psychology and Counselling provides a comprehensive understanding of human behavior and mental processes, integrating psychological theory with counselling skills and practice.

Students develop practical counselling abilities through experiential learning and supervised placements. The program emphasizes critical thinking, research methods, and ethical awareness. While not fully accredited by the British Psychological Society (BPS) in the same way as a single-honours psychology degree, this program provides a strong foundation for careers in counselling and related fields. Key modules include: Introduction to Psychological Approaches, Introduction to Counselling and Professional Skills, Counselling: Theory and Practice, Developmental Psychology, Social Psychology, Cognitive Psychology, Research Methods, and a final year project.
A BSc (Hons) in Psychology and Counselling prepares graduates for a range of careers focused on helping others and understanding human behavior. While it does not lead directly to registration as a Chartered Psychologist in the UK (which typically requires a BPS-accredited single honours psychology degree and further postgraduate training), it provides a strong foundation for roles in: counselling (with further training and supervised practice), social work, mental health support, healthcare, education, human resources, coaching, and various fields requiring strong interpersonal, communication, and analytical skills. Graduates may work in settings such as schools, hospitals, charities, community organizations, and private practice (after appropriate further training and accreditation).
