Entry Requirements For This Course
Entry Criteria
For 2017 entry (new UCAS tariff for courses starting in September 2017):
- Typical offers are made for 88 tariff points for the BA Counselling Studies and Psychology programme. There is no expectation that A-level candidates will have studied psychology at A-level, and although they typically would have studied a social science at A-level students with a mix of subjects across the A-level spectrum are welcome.
- This programme also welcomes applications from non-traditional entry students who have had a break from education, and those who wish to move into the social science area or care disciplines, as well as international applicants (subject to minimum English language requirements).
Here at UWTSD, we place great importance on encouraging non-standard entry students with relevant life skills and academic potential to join our course. Additional study skills support is always available for any student needing more one-to-one tuition. The nature of assessments and feedback in the first year provide ample opportunity for students to develop their confidence and academic style.
The programme provides the opportunity for students graduating with a minimum of Lower Second (2:2) honours to progress onto further BPS postgraduate training and qualifications, and the wider portfolio of Counselling Skills qualifications at undergraduate and postgraduate level within the centre provides further opportunity for professional development.
