Our BA Counselling Top Up programme is for students who have studied FdA Integrative Counselling and Psychotherapy at the University Centre at Blackburn College who now wish to Top Up their foundation degree to Honours level by studying for an additional year, full-time. This is a one year, full-time top up programme, and is set to be validated by Lancaster University. It has been specifically designed to offer a progression route to students from FdA Integrative Counselling and Psychotherapy from the University Centre at Blackburn College who hold a pass or higher. The programme has been designed to build upon the subjects already learnt within the foundation degree but also to deepen understanding of the subject with a focus on graduate employability and higher level graduate roles. Successful completion of the honours degree programme will enable you to work at greater emotional depth, with groups as well as individuals and with children and young people. Guest speakers, workshops and small conferences are a feature of the programme. An exciting range of employer talks and conferences take place.

You will study five mandatory modules. All students will complete a dissertation which will allow you to specialise in an area of your choosing and build your research skills and ensuring you become a research-informed practitioner. As part of the BA (Hons) programme you will need to continue in your placement and accrue, for the purposes of this programme, at least another at 50 hours of supervised counselling practice. This will help you achieve accreditation with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) in the future. Level 6 Modules (all modules are mandatory): Dissertation, Contemporary Issues in Professional Practice, Group Dynamics, Counselling Children and Young People and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy

Throughout the course a full range of assessment techniques will be used. You could be assessed by examinations, including open-book examinations, practical assessments, assignments, briefs, essays, presentations (including group presentations), reports and portfolio building. Each module is formally assessed through, for example, examination, open-book test, individual and group presentation, essay, observation of practice, assessment of course work e.g. art portfolio, written report, reflective practice and portfolios of evidence. This formal assessment will count towards your module mark.
