Program Description

A central strength of the course is the teaching team, consisting of academics with both practice and research experience in the fields of counselling and health communication. Staff members ensure that the content of the course is continually updated based on innovations in practice and research.

Students take a range of compulsory interdisciplinary modules to facilitate them developing and honing the intellectual and practical skills required for effective professional communication and ethical decision-making within the workplace.Previous students have developed their work activities in counselling, health communication and associated areas. Additionally, past students have used the programme themes to support their existing work. There are opportunities within some modules to work on projects in collaboration with public, private or voluntary organisations and potential employers. In addition, there are opportunities each year with the International Department to apply for various short-term, international exchange opportunities.
