Course overview

The Bachelor of Counselling provides students with a comprehensive and flexible approach to theoretical, experiential, and skills-based learning. Students will learn strategies to successfully explore a career in contemporary counselling, including how to support individuals, couples, families, or groups, considering the cultural and social-political context in which they live and how this may affect them. The course is delivered in small group environments on-campus, online and by blended delivery (nine counselling units) by well-qualified and experienced academic teachers using quality curriculum.

Students may elect to complete a Bachelor of Counselling qualification with a minor in Coaching. This optional sequence is designed to provide an introduction to the theories and applications of coaching across a number of contexts.

For 540501: This course is offered on-campus or through a combination of online and blended delivery. Blended delivery consists of a combination of face-to-face and online learning. There are compulsory attendance requirements for certain units. Blended delivery units require attendance at a mandatory two-day workshop.
