... Teesside University

Course Overview

Our course, carefully designed within the School of Arts & Creative Industries, is the only MSc Art Psychotherapy Degree Apprenticeship in England and has the potential to offer a dynamic, exciting, and personally rewarding career. The course offers a broad understanding of art psychotherapy, covering a range of clinical, theoretical, and practical components.

On completion of the course, apprentices will be able to register with the Health and Care Professions Council (subject to approval) as qualified and professional art psychotherapists, ready for practice.
