Important

If you meet all the requirements for direct admission to this university, you won’t need to join a pathway course before you apply.
Our full-time LPC can be completed in nine months, via face-to-face or online learning. Students will typically receive 10-12 contact hours per week and need to devote around 45+ hours a week to study.
Students should not underestimate the intensity of this programme when considering part-time work or other personal commitments. It should very much be considered to be every bit as demanding as a full-time job would be, and treated accordingly.
