Undergraduates Celebrate Career Boost As Burnley College University Degree Course Recognised By British Psychological Society

Undergraduates reading Psychology, Psychotherapy and Counselling at Burnley College University Courses (BCUC) are celebrating as their degree is accredited by the British Psychological Society (BPS) – an industry hallmark which recognises the highest standards in education and training.

The national standard recognises the exceptional quality of teaching at BCUC, and also gives graduates a huge boost to their career and promotion prospects.

Emma Charlesworth, studying a BSc (Hons) in Psychology, Psychotherapy and Counselling says:

“It’s going to have a real impact on my future. It opens so many more doors when it comes to studying for a Masters Degree and then a much wider range of career opportunities when I qualify. Knowing I will be recognised as a BPS accredited Psychologist gives me real confidence for the future.”

Nina Parkin, Dean of BCUC  says:

“I’m so proud that BCUC has this recognition and accreditation from the British Psychological Society. It’s a testament to the expertise and dedication of our Lecturers.
