Entry requirements
MA/MSc in a Psychological Trauma related discipline (graded at 65% or above for the research dissertation), plus experience or training in a range of research methodologies. The nature of the programme draws on the student’s practitioner experience as a source of the content they will work with in their studies, therefore substantive practitioner experience in the field of psychological trauma is also required in order to do this effectively.
