Programme summary for MA Psychoanalytic Studies

About the programme

Programme structure

The taught programme is undertaken on a part-time 2 year basis, one afternoon a week. In addition there are a small number of places each year on a full-time programme.

Career opportunities

While this is not a clinical programme with clear career progression, many students use it as a way of broadening and deepening psychoanalytic understanding, which can then be a route towards further study to enhance long-term career prospects, either in an existing or new related field.

Support

All students have a personal tutor to help them co-ordinate learning and experience on the programme. In addition each student meets individually each term with the Observation seminar leader to discuss progress.

Admission

While the official entry requirement is a degree or other qualification of equivalent level, with three years’ professional experience, we also welcome applications from those with non-standard educational backgrounds, and those who are currently engaged in or wishing to pursue academic study rather than related professional work.
