Overview

Key facts

The Master of Guidance and Counselling (MGC) degree offered by James Cook University equips graduates with the requisite skills, knowledge, understanding and personal awareness to become professionally equipped counsellors in a variety of locations and settings.
Human, personal, educational, and employment needs are becoming ever more complex in the 21st century context of continuing and rapid change. Counselling professionals provide an invaluable service by helping people grow and thrive in such an environment.
Equally, for those not wishing to pursue the professional counselling route, the MGC Course will advance graduates professionally via enrichment of their people skills, knowledge, understanding and self-awareness to become more empowered personally and professionally within their contexts of choice.
