Therapeutic Communication & Therapeutic Organisations Adult (Top-up) - BA (Hons)

University of Essex

The BA course is the third year of the programme, consolidating your knowledge and expertise from the Foundation Degree and empowering you to take a more significant role in your agencies. We combine theoretical seminars, practical workshops, work-place learning, and an opportunity to focus on a theme that inspires you most. Your first term concentrates on developing therapeutic techniques in working individually with children and adults, whilst your second involves in-depth study of the dynamics of organisations. This includes theory, workshop and observational elements. In the summer term you select either a module on supervision and mentoring, enabling you to foster the skills and development of others in your agency or a module on further developing your counselling skills. Throughout the year, you will also be able to study an area of personal interest, engaging your curiosity under the expert guidance of our staff.
