“After a long time out of education I was very apprehensive about returning to academic study. I wanted to study somewhere that I not only felt welcomed but also valued. Huddersfield was my first choice! “The course was brilliant. The content was challenging, engaging and provided a great knowledge base for academic and industry job roles. The counselling modules allowed me to gain over 100 hours of practical counselling skills. The other modules studied provided an in depth understanding of real-world applications of psychology. The lecturers were fabulous too.”
