Mental health has become one of the most pressing concerns of our time. Across societies, questions of psychological distress, wellbeing, care, and access to mental health support are increasingly shaping public discourse, policy, and everyday life. The study of madness and disability has historically been central to the development of psychology and continues to inform contemporary conversations about care, rights, inclusion, and social responsibility.
The Clinical and Counselling Psychology Special Track introduces undergraduate students to clinical and counselling psychology as applied areas within the broader discipline of psychology. These fields connect psychological knowledge to real-world contexts where people seek help, make sense of distress, and pursue wellbeing.
Through engagement with the study of madness and disability, students examine how psychological suffering has been understood, diagnosed, and addressed across different historical, cultural, and institutional contexts.
The special track introduces diverse approaches to understanding and responding to mental health concerns, including psychotherapeutic, community-based, and interdisciplinary perspectives, while encouraging critical reflection on the social and cultural conditions that shape experiences of distress and care.
Designed as an introduction to the wide and complex field of mental health, the Clinical and Counselling Psychology Special Track helps students develop an understanding of the scope of clinical and counselling psychology and the questions, practices, and responsibilities that define the field. By the end of the programme, students will be better placed to determine whether they wish to pursue advanced study in clinical or counselling psychology, or related areas, at the postgraduate level. For those interested in the social relevance and applied impact of psychology, the special track offers insight into how psychological knowledge contributes to mental health care and wellbeing in contemporary society.

Required courses provide a foundational introduction to the field, covering key concepts in clinical psychology, major theoretical approaches to counselling, and the foundational principles of psychological testing and assessment.
In addition to the required courses, students must complete three Special Track electives. Each year, a set of electives will be designated for the Clinical and Counselling Psychology Special Track. These may be offered in Psychology or related disciplines and are typically available in Years 2, 3, and 4. Students may choose from the designated electives over the course of their studies.

Assessment within the Clinical and Counselling Psychology Special Track will employ a diverse range of methods designed to evaluate students’ conceptual understanding, critical thinking, applied skills, reflective capacities, and ability to communicate psychological knowledge in different forms. Alongside more traditional forms of assessment such as written examinations, essays, and analytical assignments, students may be assessed through practical and experiential activities that allow them to engage with psychological concepts in applied and creative ways.
Depending on the course and learning objectives, assessments may include examinations and assignments, oral presentations, case analyses, psychological testing and assessment exercises, role-plays and skits, reflective exercises, posters, visual and other alternative study materials, and other creative or collaborative projects.
