Duration: 3 Years UCAS Course Code: BW94 Admissions Tutor: Richard Knapp This is a Joint Honours degree which combines Counselling and Drama on an equal basis. Programme Design: Counselling
The Counselling component aims to promote transferable skills that will equip graduates for diverse occupations. It is particularly suitable for those wishing to pursue careers in health care, personnel work, social work, teaching and any of the public services. It is also suitable for students who wish to pursue a postgraduate qualification in Counselling in order to become a professional Counsellor. All new students to the course are invited to attend an informal meeting before enrolment in September which provides you with an opportunity to make new friends and acquaintances on the course before the academic year begins. Students find this very helpful and the course has a well-established group unity before and throughout the period of study.
A key objective for the course is to provide you with an overall understanding of Counselling theory and practice. The use of generic helping skills will be identified and taught as a set of professional tools and their respective applications understood within the caring profession, with a further opportunity of progressing to a postgraduate degree/Masters in Counselling Practice.
Programme Design: Drama
The Drama component offers you the opportunity to explore your critical understanding of the subject in a manner that will complement your work in the Counselling component with which it would be combined. It is a selection of modules with some elective choices designed as to allow those with an interest in Drama as a means for developing critical understanding of the world but without the level of focus on performance skills. The elective choices are designed to offer some specialised focus on the disciplines of applied
performance practice, directing or arts management which may appeal to those Counselling students who might consider following career routes in such areas. Though Drama as a component has no specific vocational outcome it does act as a platform for a number of graduate career routes, these include Teaching, Community Arts, Arts Marketing and Management, Directing, Theatre in Education and Arts Enterprise.
