Student Destinations

Students who successfully complete the MSc can apply their degree in a variety of settings and we anticipate that they will go into roles such as child mental health workers or assistant psychologists/ psychotherapists, or take up posts as research assistants. They may also be admitted onto professional doctorates or PhD programmes. The programme has strong links with Independent Psychoanalytic Child and Adolescent Psychotherapy Association (IPCAPA) at the British Psychotherapy Foundation (bpf), and with the UCL Doctorate in Child and Adolescent Psychoanalytic Psychotherapy, and is a recognised pre-clinical course for this training.
