MSc
| Level | SCQF Level 11 |
|---|---|
| Entry requirements | Applicants for admission will normally be expected to hold a relevant Honours degree with a 2:2 or above from a recognised university or body. In exceptional circumstances, applicants without this qualification may be admitted at the discretion of the Programme Director subject to having an alternative qualification, or an approved level of experience, appropriate to the field of study. A student membership of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) or Counselling & Psychotherapy in Scotland (COSCA) is advised and a PVG check will be required. |
| Assessment | A significant aim of the course is to support and encourage the development of 'reflexive practitioners’, able to offer and use constructive feedback. Through the process of self, peer, and tutor assessments, the programme members will have the opportunity to realise and understand the impact of their personal power and responsibility in the process of becoming recognised as professional counsellors. |
| Modules | This course requires trainee practitioners to be in counselling themselves, although this is not a requirement for COSCA or BACP membership. Personal therapy can cost between £30-£80 per session. Some agencies run a donation based service or counsellors may have a trainee rate. Students are required to access a minimum of 20hrs per year of study. |
