Occasional changes to modules and course content may take place. Students will be notified when applicable.
The primary way of delivering this course is on campus.
On campus teaching includes a combination of lectures, small group seminars, workshops, guest lectures and one to one discussions with your tutor. The assessment strategy adopts a variety of methods including podcasts, essays, roleplays and student presentations.
Contact time for students is 1 day per week for the full-time route and 1 morning or afternoon per week for the part-time route. This allows students to obtain work experience in the sector throughout the other days as well as conduct independent learning and assessment work. This also allows students to manage work and family commitments they may have during the course.
Students will receive approximately 6 hours of teaching time per week throughout the full-time course, depending on the modules being taken. Additional one-to-one meetings with tutors will provide further support. Students have the option to contact an additional support team to develop key study skills such as referencing and academic writing style. We have found this to be a very useful aspect of the course, especially for anyone who has had a break in education and is returning to studies, however the service is available for all students who attend the course.
Entry requirements would usually be one of the following:
We welcome applications from people of any age who might not meet the standard entry criteria, but we would expect to see evidence of continuing academic and/or professional development and a capacity to pursue the course successfully.
Our BA programme, if fully completed, will enable progression to a wide range of jobs within the industry which include; working in charitable organisations, private sector, NHS and prison settings, schools, working in pastoral, trainers and facilitators. It can also provide a pathway to advanced qualifications in counselling, psychology, or social work, including diplomas and degree programs.
UK students can take out a tuition fee loan to cover the cost of their course and a maintenance loan to cover living costs.
We also have a range of other financial support available.
