What will I be doing?

Current circumstances, and potential future changes in government advice, mean that we may need to vary the methods of teaching and/or assessment during the forthcoming academic year.

TEACHING

This award is aimed at meeting the needs of qualified counsellors who have already completed professional training in counselling. Students select the combination of modules which is best geared to meeting their individual training needs. A variety of teaching and learning strategies will be employed, particularly:

Theory and practice related lectures
Experiential workshops
Experiential group work

ASSESSMENT

The evaluation takes the form of formative and summative assessments. Formative assessments enable students to gauge their learning and development during the course of each module and to prepare them for summative assessment. Formative assessments vary from module to module and include peer and tutor review and feedback on the development of written work both in class and electronically online. The learning is experientially driven and enquiry-led, with opportunities review of assimilation of knowledge, critical skills and conceptualisations. Formative assessment is conducted via a range of methods such as reflective reviews, blogs, and face-to-face and online discussion groups.

Summative assessment strategies will include:

Written essays addressing issues of theory and practice
Portfolios addressing issues of theory and practice
Presentations (including poster presentations) addressing issues of theory and practice
Supervised research dissertation
