The School of Psychology at Mediterranean College is widely renowned as the leader in Greece, with over forty five years of experience in the provision of high quality University courses in Psychology. The BSc (Hons) Psychology & Counselling programme has been designed by the University of Wolverhampton and is in accordance with the requirements of the BPS (British Psychological Society), enabling graduates to apply for membership. Graduates are also granted a psychologist practitioner status in Greece.
It is one of a few accredited degrees that combine Psychology with Counselling, giving a competitive advantage to students who aspire to become counsellor/psychotherapists, with the ability to work in multiple settings or develop their own private practice. Students are given an invaluable opportunity to develop and apply their counselling skills in placement that takes place in collaborating settings, or in our in-house clinic. With those skills, graduates are eligible to directly pursue our Professional Doctorate in Counselling & Psychology, without having to go through the Master’s level.
With our blended learning approach, that combines on campus block teaching with online content, students are able to manage workloads in the context of other home or work commitments.
What you will study
You will study scientific approaches to understanding the mind, motivation, and behaviour of people, with modules covering theories, principles, ethics, and applications in the real-world. Areas of psychology that are covered include social, cognitive, health, clinical, & developmental psychologies, as well as the appropriate research methods. Along with the core Psychology content, you will be introduced to counselling theories and professional practice, and you will develop your counselling skills through in-class simulations and role-plays, as well as through supervised placement in Years 2 and 3.
At the start of your course, we support your transition into university by introducing study skills, time management, library skills, independent learning skills, and the core areas of psychological knowledge.
This framework for study of the mind, emotion, motivation and behaviour will be underpinned by historical and scientific background knowledge, with early modules including core debates and key competencies in psychology, research methods and current issues in the field. Our curriculum provides transferable skills while setting the groundwork for later specialist knowledge.
Later in your course you will be able to choose a specialist area to research, learning from the experience of professionals in the field in the production of your research project. Final year modules cover psychology as applied to clinical, occupational, and developmental/ educational contexts.
