This course is currently being revalidated and it is possible that there will be some changes to the course as described in this prospectus. The MSc Art Psychotherapy programme will be a two-year, full time training approved by the Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC), the regulating body for the health and care professions in the UK. The programme structure combines creative active learning, clinical and community placements, lectures, seminars, and studio practices. Art Psychotherapy trainees also attend clinical supervision to support their learning and professional development within a variety of practicum settings. Art Psychotherapy trainees are required to attend personal psychotherapy for the duration of their training. Art psychotherapists work with children, young people, adults, and older people in a range of health, education, social care, advocacy, and community services. As a career Art Psychotherapy offers an opportunity to work collaboratively with others. It combines therapeutic expertise, evidence based research, social engagement and creative ingenuity. The course integrates HCPC professional clinical training requirements along with practice-based learning in conjunction with cultural partners, advocacy organisations, and social enterprise initiatives.
