Top-Up Doctorate (D.Psych) in Counselling Psychology
The 'top-up' route to a D.Psych qualification is available only to those eligible for full membership of the British psychological Society Division of Counselling Psychology. It orientates around the structure of the D.Psych in Counselling Psychology but allows significant recognition of prior learning. Hence students on the 'top-up' route take selected modules on an independent learning basis over a minimum of 2.5 years (part-time). The submissions for these constitute a 'portfolio' of work that is assessed at Doctoral level. Attendance is required for advanced research training and research supervision purposes, students are not required to attend for formal teaching in any other capacity.
