BA Therapeutic Communication and Therapeutic Organisations

About

How can you support the people who need your service most effectively?

How can you work more collaboratively with your colleagues?

What counts as therapeutic support for children, young people, or older adults?

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.

English Program Requirements

English language requirements for applicants whose first language is not English: IELTS 6.0 overall, or specified score in another equivalent test that we accept. Details of English language requirements, including UK Visas and Immigration minimum component scores, and the tests we accept for applicants who require a Student visa (excluding Nationals of Majority English Speaking Countries) can be found here If we accept the English component of an international qualification then it will be included in the information given about the academic levels listed above for the relevant countries. Please note that date restrictions may apply to some English language qualifications. If you are an international student requiring a Student visa to study in the UK please see our immigration webpages for the latest Home Office guidance on English language qualifications. What if my IELTS does not meet your requirements? If you do not meet our IELTS requirements then you may be able to complete a pre-sessional English pathway that enables you to start your course without retaking IELTS. Do I need to have achieved an acceptable English language qualification before I apply? You don’t need to achieve the required level before making your application, but it will be one of the conditions of your offer. What if the English language qualification I hold, or am taking, is not listed? If you cannot find the qualification that you have achieved or are pending, then please contact Admissions on ugquery@essex.ac.uk for advice.
