BSc Psychology Counselling and Coaching

The BSc Psychology, Counselling and Coaching from Bedfordshire University blends key ideas from psychology, counselling, and coaching to help students understand how people think, feel, and act. It combines classic theories, such as cognitive, psychodynamic, and person-centred approaches, providing students with a firm grasp of foundational ideas. Students also practice their skills through peer coaching and voluntary roles, bringing theory into real-life settings. This programme is accredited by the British Psychological Society, meaning graduates with at least a second-class honours degree can proceed to postgraduate training as Chartered Members.

They learn how counselling and psychotherapy work in real contexts, focusing on areas like mental health and personal development. Students learn through lectures, workshops, roleplay, and peer coaching, and make use of high-tech facilities like counselling pods, virtual reality tools, neuropsychology labs, EEGs, eye-trackers, and podcasting equipment. Assessments include presentations, essays, case studies, reflective journals, research projects, and coaching demonstrations, all designed to test both theory and real-world application.
