Overview

Bachelor of Counselling

The counselling degree will start you on an enthralling journey to unravel the human mind. 

You’ll begin to explore the relationship between biology, psychology, and the environment.

You’ll learn about the development of humans – from infant development, to tumultuous adolescence, the becoming of adulthood, and culminating in the experience of older age, illness and death.
The course gives you the opportunity to learn interpersonal competencies, including communication, interpersonal skills, teamwork, self-reflection, negotiation, and conflict resolution skills.

One or more of the majors in this course is externally recognized when studied within this course.
