Placements & Progression:

Our staff on the MA Programme have a commitment to student welfare, and particularly to career and academic progression. This is discussed at individual tutorials and in our Study Groups.

Students are encouraged to design and produce their own practice leaflets, and to develop a private practice if they choose through networking and outreach. In addition, we research and provide information on student placements in a wide variety of agencies and settings. These currently include:
