Ulster University Foundation Degree In Counselling - Year 1

All modules include practical assignment. Some modules include examinations in keeping with Ulster University regulations. A Portfolio in relation to Clinical Practice, including supervisor and agency reports, must also meet a required standard for successful completion of the course.

The course provides a balance between theory and practice that meets the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy's recommendations for counsellor training programmes. The programme also provides an exit point at CertHE level for Learners who wish to gain knowledge of counselling to support other professional roles. It is important that Learners have good mental / psychological / emotional health to support their own wellbeing and that of clients when they are in clinical placement.

Graduates have progressed to part-time employment in the voluntary sector, GP surgeries and to the establishment of a private counselling practice. Progression is also possible to the Ulster University for completion of a BSc. Anyone interested in this pathway needs to access the Ulster University Jordanstown prospectus for course descriptions and admissions' requirements/procedures. Others use the course to progress to careers in allied professions.
