Our staff are actively working in clinical practice, policy development and within professional bodies. Our lecturers are active researchers and have published many textbooks, some of which you will be reading as part of your course.
Careers focussed teaching
Here at UEL, you will have access to a range of opportunities that will boost your career prospects. Whether that's learning from industry professionals actively working in local NHS trusts, developing clinical skills and experience at our in-house Hospital and Primary Care Training Hub, or learning from guest lecturers with years of experience.
Studying for a BSc Counselling degree at UEL was a valuable stepping-stone towards the career that I wanted to pursue. I was able to bring together theory and practice not only in the classroom but also through clinical placements."
