Overview
The Art Psychotherapy MSc programme from Ulster University encompasses seminars, tutorials, peer learning groups, reflective practice and art making.
This course also includes practicum components, with students undertaking approved placements in diverse organisational settings.
These will be supported by training and mentoring within the placement and also by ongoing supervision from experienced HCPC registered arts therapists and art psychotherapists.
