Learning programmes

In addition to the existing general BA or BSc degree with Psychology as a major, the Department of Psychology offers specialised learning programmes in specific areas of applied psychology. You can choose from three programmes: (1) Psychological Counselling (2) Community and Health Psychology and (3) Applied Psychology for Professional Contexts. A learning programme differs from a general BA or BSc degree in that it comprises a constellation of modules all related to the central topic of that programme. On completion of all the modules in one of these learning programmes, you will be awarded a BA (Health Sciences and Social Services) degree.
