The foundation year modules provide a supportive introduction to university study, helping students build the academic skills and subject-specific knowledge necessary for success in higher education. This initial year lays the groundwork for future learning and professional development.

The course includes carefully designed modules that develop career-focused skills in professional counselling. In the final year, students have the opportunity to choose a counselling practice area for a research project, fostering independent learning and practical application. By the time students graduate, they are well-equipped to apply psychological and counselling knowledge to diverse career paths and further academic opportunities.

Throughout the programme, students receive personalized support from lecturers and academic skills tutors, along with opportunities to connect through regular online coffee sessions with peers and staff. Networking sessions with guest speakers from sectors such as policing, the NHS, and the UK Fire Service further enrich the learning experience. With guidance from experienced academic professionals, students are encouraged to apply their skills in real-world contexts, building confidence and practical expertise for their future careers.
