Subject to validation
The BSc (Hons) in Integrative Counselling (Top Up), is a carefully designed undergraduate degree programme, benchmarked against national standards, which will provide students with the professional knowledge and skills to work professionally as a Counsellor, should they choose to pursue this after graduation. This programme is open to applicants from a Christian and non-Christian background. It is a professional course in a Christian setting, that offers both a distinctly Christian element (optional) and a general spiritual / transpersonal element woven through the course.

This provides a unique opportunity to study a professionally recognised secular course in an environment that recognises the value of faith and spirituality.
