Programme Coordinator

“This programme prepares students to become scientist-practitioners of counselling. That is, in addition to developing students to counsel to an international standard, the BSc. (Hons.) in Counselling with Psychology programme encourages students to directly engage in research literature. From developmental and social psychology, students will engage in advancing cognitive and neuropsychological content. At its core, our programme is focused on developing scholarly ability and occupational readiness.”

About Programme

The BSc. (Hons.) in Counselling with Psychology programme at Perdana University represents an opportunity for graduates to be registered counsellors on completion of their final year. Mirrored with the development in the West, this fledgling subject is expanding due to the opportunities in the job market. As we face the biggest pandemic in our lifetime, the need and role of counsellors will only continue to grow. This also means there is a requirement for new, modern, and sophisticated programmes catering to this ever-evolving field.
