Postgraduate Counselling reviews
Disorganised, lost and poorly run
Overall score
Terrible, expensive and bolted onto a business school for IWT who can't get into ivy league but have loads and I mean loads of money. I have never seen so many designer clothes or bag! All the very good staff have left and the Head of department has been there less than five years. I'm sure it was great once but it is no longer. Run out of Regent's College London, validated by UoW.
Study experience
Very poor standards vary wildly, foundation course is excellent and fools you into believing the MA might be similar, very very wrong
Facilities
Terrible, library is overcrowded, eating, drinking, talking on the phone is not discourage, books all have pen marks in them. there is a post grad room in the basement but the basement is vile so no one goes there
Postgraduate life
No no no no no amazing spot in the middle of Regents Park, but that is it.
Job prospects
Placements are a nightmare, placement officer doesn't seem to do anything at all and Regent's college will not let us speak with other graduates, I wonder why.

Do not waste a lot of money please
Counselling and Psychotherapy PgDip/MA
Anon, March 2010Overall score
This tiny cramped spot in Walcott Terrace, Bath costs £2,500 a year for one days tuition and the student has to pay for weekly therapy for the whole six or seven years (depending on whether counselling or psychotherapy option chosen) Therapy is £35 at least per session. The few students in my group were all very rich very competitive and very unaware of everyday life for the average non-rich person (like me) I found and discussions about villas in France abounded. I was shouted at in the dicussion sessions and when I defended myself was made fun of many times by tutors who use it as a free for all it seems be superior. I found the staff of two were unable to be objective and had an obvious favourite who they defiended no matter what so the group therapy was a joke. I felt that I was sinking in a morass of self-regard and career moves with no one being really that 'into' the client. This is a career move for some rich people who frankly would not be tolerated in the average office or place of employment due to their spoilt ways.
Study experience
Under qualified tutors who seem to regard themselves as deeply important and capable when comments made in class and on my essays were biased, unacademic I feel and irrelevant even. One tutor is an Irish lady who really cannot ever ever ever be wrong and has an ego the size of Britain. It was horrible because they kept telling us to be real and so on but if any truth came out they made fun of the truth-teller (ie me mostly about their favouritism for a particuar student). Arrogant male tutor trying to get close to the female students revolting. I was exhausted from an early time but had spent a lot of money on the course and felt it would be wasted if I left mid-way.
Facilities
Library a joke with no order or record of books. BCPC calls itself a charity but it is raking in a fortune from these course which, if you go on til the end, last six or seven years. Greedy attitude about payment also.
Postgraduate life
No one was friendly some even made jokes about me while I was there and I did not deserve it but was alone in not being a rich deeply confident person
Job prospects
Employers of counsellors and therapists rate this place highly it seems but they have no idea what a crap place it is. Students are required to do hardly any written work and so even the laziest rich kid can get to be a therapist and earn a lot as a result. I have nothing against rich people but everyone on the course was very very privileged and prvately educated which is not their fault I know. But they feel they have a right to a big income and therapy learned here is too easy to BS through I feel - especially if you are a tutors favourite (one female cried every week really and got so much attention for it that it seemed fake after a whlie as she was different when the tutors were not around).

Living the life.
Counselling PgDip
University Of Wales, Newport
Sue, January 2008Overall score
The organisational aspect of our course has been diabolical-even to the last day of our course being wrong. We have not had covered enough info, re-assignment dates, etc. This is down to the lead tutors rather than the visiting tutors.
Study experience
The course content is excellent. I day a week. No contact between college and external placement. Academic advice: read, read, read!
Facilities
The library facilities are excellent, as are the staff. But the books are ALL gone when an assignment is due.
Postgraduate life
N/A (see previous)
Job prospects
Possibly continue onto MA. No help from uni regarding job prospects.
