Counselling, Psychology and Education

About this course

Counselling, psychology, and education together address how people develop, learn, and change across the lifespan, and how professionals can support those processes in ways that are evidence-based, ethical, and compassionate. Psychology provides the scientific understanding of mind and behaviour, while counselling develops the practical and relational skills needed to support individuals through difficulty and promote wellbeing. Education brings knowledge of how learning occurs and how educational settings can be made more responsive to the diverse needs of those within them. At the University of Aberdeen, this five-year full-time integrated master's degree is accredited by the British Psychological Society and designed to prepare practitioners for professional counselling roles across a range of settings, including healthcare, education, and community contexts.
