Psychology (Counselling) with Foundation Year

About this course

Psychology is the scientific study of human behaviour and mental processes, examining how people think, feel, perceive, learn, and relate to one another. A psychology degree with a counselling focus brings together the rigorous experimental and theoretical foundations of the discipline with a particular emphasis on therapeutic approaches, mental health, and the skills involved in supporting people through psychological difficulties. This combination is especially relevant at a time when the demand for trained practitioners in mental health and wellbeing services continues to grow across the UK. At the University of Northampton, this programme is offered as a four-year full-time degree with a foundation year, which provides an additional introductory stage designed to build your academic skills and introduce core concepts in psychology before you begin the main degree curriculum.
