The MA Counselling and Psychotherapy top-up course is aimed at students who have completed a BACP-accredited Postgraduate Diploma in Counselling and Psychotherapy or equivalent professional training. (Equivalent to 120 credits).

This three-year course (two years for the Diploma) is ideally suited to those with a part-time job, although it can also work for those with full-time commitments. The basis of study for the PG Diploma is one afternoon/evening per week.  The final MA year can be carried out at distance.

Students take an independent study approach, supported by individual academic supervision and online workshops on research methodology. 

The final award is an MA in Counselling and Psychotherapy with advanced standing of 180 credits. 

We follow current research into what actually works in counselling and psychotherapy, which means we use an integrative approach, employing a variety of techniques to respond to the needs and preferences of individual clients.
