BSc Hons Communication with Counselling at Saad College of Nursing & Allied Health Sciences Saudi Arabia
It is a major in Communication with a minor in Counselling. You can choose to apply directly for this programme or wait until after you take the Counselling-specific module in Semester Two, Year One. If you like it, you can go onto the programme from the start of second year. If you like the idea of waiting, then you must apply for BSc Hons Communication through UCAS. The counselling Year One module is an option on that programme.
What will you study?
Communication major:
You will study all aspects of communication; one to one communication, language and communication, communication within and between different social groups, mass communication and communication research. The degree is continuously developing and adding new areas of study reflecting the dynamic nature of the area of communication.
Counselling minor:
This part has been designed to meet the needs of communication students wishing to understand the application of communication principles in the skilled helping and counselling contexts. The minor pathway counselling modules aim to facilitate a comprehensive and critical understanding of the complex nature of counselling as a profession, the contexts in which it occurs and the crucial differences between “counselling” and “counselling skills” practice. The degree is not counsellor training in itself and does not provide the graduate with a professional counselling qualification. Subsequently, it does not offer any professional counselling placement, but rather is concerned with the knowledge base of counselling and its associated counselling skills, which can be built upon after graduation. This programme provides an excellent springboard for students who wish to pursue professional accreditation following graduation.
The programme uses purpose built Communication Skills Centres where students develop interpersonal skills to a high level of personal effectiveness. The course team have excellent links with local and international organisations that frequently provide students with research and commercial experience and also provide specialist lecturers.
