The School of Social Sciences at Bond University offers undergraduate and postgraduate programs in Behaviour Management, Counselling, Criminology and Psychology. These innovative programs have been designed to produce graduates who are prepared to take on the professional challenges they meet in the field.
The focus of Bond's Postgraduate Diploma of Counselling program provides students with professional training and practical competencies in working with both child and adult clients. Students are trained to apply counselling as a hands-on system for assessing and treating client difficulties.
The counselling program is designed to train students for work as a general or specialist counsellor and is fully accredited by the Australian Counselling Association. Graduates of this program are also prepared for careers as mental health professionals such as social workers, guidance officers and welfare workers. The program would also assist teachers who are interested in developing expertise in the area of counselling. Practical experience is an integral part of this program and students will work within a selected counselling setting for a total of 200 hours as part of the program.
Foundation subjects in this degree include a focus on counselling skills and theories, assessment and diagnosis, interventions in counselling, changing human behaviour, applications of counselling and more.
Students from Canada may also wish to consider Bond University's Postgraduate Diploma of Behaviour Management.
