This extended course is perfect if you want a degree in Psychosocial Theory and Practice, but don’t meet the standard entry requirements; First we prepare you for your degree during the Foundation year, bringing you up to speed with academic skills and a firm grounding in the subject. Then you can go on to do the full undergraduate degree. If so, this course will really excite you. You’ll enjoy an interactive learning experience that will help you make sense of yourself and the world around you. We value your own life experiences on this course, and we’re passionate about providing the best student experience. You’ll gain a different outlook on life as well as a range of skills that will equip you for a wide variety of jobs when you leave us. That could be anything from helping those afflicted by drug abuse or mental health issues to taking on a communications role. It will also give you the foundation to embark on further training or study, including a postgraduate degree at UEL. Future career: We've designed this degree to give you the broadest possible scope when it comes to moving into work or postgraduate study and research. We’ll equip you with a range of skills such as counselling, learning to listen emphatically and understanding the dynamics of group processes. This will give you an excellent foundation to pursue further professional qualifications and training in areas such as mental health, child development and psychotherapy. If you want to work with agencies tackling issues such as homelessness, drug abuse, learning difficulties and mental illness – as many of our graduates have – the insight and skills you gain on this course will give you a head start. Our students also move into teaching, local government, research and marketing. Others have become welfare officers, youth workers, family therapists and psychotherapists.
