MA Contemporary Relationship Studies

This part-time master's degree integrates theory and practice in relational and psychosexual therapy. Theory is woven through the course, so ideas are linked to practice in a flexible, reflexive way from the outset. The course explores theory together rather than in separate modules, so students link concepts to practice reflexively. The course holds COSRT accreditation and includes placement hours in an approved clinical setting. Students also explore pathways to registration and accreditation with professional bodies. Students undertake reflective learning throughout, and placement hours form an important part of professional development. Graduates can progress into the psychosexual therapy specialism, and the flexible structure suits practitioners from different theoretical perspectives who want advanced study. The course suits people who already hold a degree and want a clinically focused, part-time pathway.
