General programme information
The MA Art Therapy will equip you with the skills, experience and confidence to work in frequently challenging but ultimately rewarding environments.

The training includes theoretical perspectives within a psychodynamic framework, workshops and a training group as well as supervised clinical placements. Opportunities for further development of your identity as an artist are both valued and fostered.
