Mental health issues affect around one in four adults, and the number of people reporting mental health problems has been increasing in recent years. While the importance of psychological wellbeing and the therapeutic power of counselling are widely recognised, more skilled professionals are needed to support counselling services, and to work in preventative and early intervention mental healthcare roles. Further career opportunities exist in roles that impact collective mental health and wellbeing indirectly through social initiatives and family and community services.Taught at our town-centre campus in Greater Manchester, the University of Bolton's BSc (Hons) Mental Health, Wellbeing and Counselling degree gives you the chance to learn about the interaction between psychology, counselling, social and community work, law, and health care. You will learn to appreciate the diversity of perspectives involved, and understand how concepts from these disciplines are combined to improve the lives of individuals, families and communities.Our friendly and experienced team will guide you as you develop knowledge of the theories, methods and debates central to mental health and wellbeing at individual, family and community levels. We'll provide support as you explore psychology, gain specific counselling skills, and consider broader social, healthcare, and legal issues that impact psychological and physical wellbeing. We'll also focus on developing your knowledge and skills in applied research methods, especially those relating to evidence-based practice, as this will be of great value as you progress in your career.
