What qualifications do I need?
While applicants normally have a qualification in
counselling to at least Diploma level and are in supervised
counselling practice, applications are welcomed from those in
allied health professions (e.g. social work or psychology) or with
a background in a related area who can show relevant
experience.
It is recognised that exemptions to the usual
entry requirements may need to apply for overseas applicants,
because they may not be able to satisfy the usual requirement for
counselling, social work or psychology qualifications, although
they must show evidence of appropriate qualifications and
background. In line with University policy there is a requirement
that international student’s meet the English language requirements
of an overall IELTS score of 6.5. The written element must be at
level 6.5.
- Students who register in the first instance
for the Masters programme must normally have a good honours degree,
i.e. 2:2 and above because of the demands of study at Masters’
level.
- Students who register in the first instance
for the Postgraduate Diploma will have relevant academic and
professional qualifications which equate to satisfactory completion
of the appropriate prior learning recognised as equivalent to 360
credits including at least 60 credits at level 2, and at least 60
credits at level 3 on the University’s modular course system.
The student, unless there are exceptional
circumstances, can be judged through the application form, by their
academic history, professional experience and personal statement.
Applications are reviewed in light of the University’s widening
participation approach of being an inclusive and accessible
university (Strategic aim 1). Applicants that do not have the
traditional academic qualifications for postgraduate study, but
satisfy the criteria around professional experience, can be
required to undertake and pass the Access module (3ID130), as part
of the entry process.
