MA in Psychotherapy Studies (Academic Pathway) L7

Bishop Auckland College

This master's programme is designed to support both personal and professional development through embodied, relational, integrative and holistic learning practices. Highly experiential in nature, the course requires full engagement and reflection as you progress through workshops, lectures, field trips and creative activities. Assessment methods are varied, including reflective journals, case studies, creative work, podcasts and a research thesis. Unique in its content, this MA is the only* programme in the UK to offer a specialist module in Wild Therapy. The course includes two first-year residential experiences, Building Community Creatively in October and Working Wildly in late May/early June, plus occasional evening and weekend CPD activities, with dates shared in advance.
