What you will study

We believe that the client’s difficulties must be understood within the wider context of social justice, oppression and inequality. Antioppressive practice is therefore central to the MSc Psychological Therapies Practice and Research (Systemic Therapy) programme. Clinical practice is a key part of the MSc Psychological Therapies Practice and Research (Systemic Therapy) programme. In line with the requirements of the Association for Family and Systemic Psychotherapy (AFSP), students will be supported to apply their learning in real-world settings throughout both years of the course.
