Content |
The Bachelor of Counselling is designed to equip students with a range of counselling skills; teach them to critically engage with a range of counselling theories; and develop their ability to integrate these with a relational theological method, in order to prepare them for professional practice.
The degree also has a common core of biblical, theological and historical studies which provides a foundation for a deep appreciation of the Scriptures and the outworking of the gospel in life and professional practice. |
