MA Psychodynamic Counselling and Psychotherapy (3 years)

UNIVERSITY OF ESSEX

Lillian - February 2026

The people on my course are friendly, some lecturers are good with hosting discussions and moments to reflect.

What can be improved is the financial support, many students complained that the demands of course are not as clearly stated from the beginning and almost halfway through the course expected to meet all the various requirements that are extremely expensive and difficult for the average masters student to afford. So more financial support and for lecturers to be more culturally competent and sensitive. I find during the discussions when certain students voice opinions that are racist, transphobic or homophobic, the lecturers are not intervening on the comments and further encourage students. read full review

The university provides excellent resources for learning, including up-to-date libraries, labs, and online materials.

There’s a strong sense of community, with clubs, events, and study groups that make it easy to connect and collaborate with peers.
Opportunities for internships, research, and practical experience help students apply what they learn in real-world settings.

How it could be improved:

More flexible course scheduling or additional online options could help students balance studies with other commitments. Expanding mental health and counseling resources would further support student well-being. Regular updates to campus facilities and technology would maintain a modern learning environment. read full review
