Overview

Course overview

The aim of this Psychology and Counselling program at The University of Wales Trinity Saint David is to offer students the opportunity to pursue a BPS-accredited degree combining the two popular subject areas of Psychology and Counselling.

The often-lively academic debate that pushes the boundaries between the two disciplines of Psychology and Counselling regarding the nature of human behaviour and different therapeutic approaches has traditionally stimulated an appreciation of perspective-taking, empirical evidence and self-reflection.

The programme aims to help you to produce a scientific understanding of the mind, brain, behaviour and experience, and how they interact with the complex environments in which they exist. It also aims to develop knowledge of counselling as a social function mediated by individual, societal and global contexts.
