Assessment method
Assessment in Phases 1 and 2 is by means of essays, publishable articles, presentations, and a research proposal. In Phase 3, assessment will be by thesis and viva. Part-time students are expected to give at least 16 hours (part-time) a week to their studies.
Entry requirements
MA/MSc in a related Counselling/Psychotherapy 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 therapeutic practitioner experience is also required in order to do this effectively.
