WELCOME TO
PSYCHOLOGY AND COUNSELLING
Open your mind
What makes us who we are? What influences how we feel, think and act,
and how we relate to others? Psychology developed as a discipline that focuses
on the scientific study of the human mind, behaviour, and people in social contexts.
You’ll be introduced to various approaches to psychological research, including
experiments, observations, and interviews, and you'll learn both qualitative
and statistical analytic techniques.
Why study with us? Members of the School work in close You can study psychology in

This way, you get the qualification you want in a timeframe that’s right for you.
Undergraduate qualifications
Most of our students study part time, taking 60 credits a year. That’s like studying
at half the rate of a full-time course at a traditional university. If you want to
complete your study at a full-time rate, you’ll need to study 120 credits per year.
