Research
We offer opportunities for students who want to pursue research in art psychotherapy.
For MPhil and PhD study, you usually register for research by written thesis (although there are also possibilities for research based on a written element and studio practice).
Whatever your topic, you have your first supervisor in Art Psychotherapy and may have your second in another department – Art, Educational Studies, Psychology, or Sociology, for example.
You meet your supervisors regularly for discussion and guidance, and present your work to the Art Psychotherapy research student group.
Supervision is currently available in the following areas:
Current research topics include:

Students should normally have (or expect to be awarded) a taught Masters in Art Therapy/Art Psychotherapy. Students might also be considered for some programmes if they aren’t a graduate or their degree is in an unrelated field, but have relevant experience and can show that students have the ability to work at postgraduate level.
