Summary
This new MSc Dramatherapy is the first of its kind in Scotland and the only opportunity to engage in accredited training as a Dramatherapist here. It offers a rewarding and creative approach to working with others and is an exciting development in the life of the profession in Scotland. This full-time course leads to eligibility to register with the Health and Care Processions Council (HCPC) and use the protected title of ‘Dramatherapist’.
The rich potential of creative, embodied expression, your desire to work with others in a meaningful way and the life changing potential of psychotherapy all come together in this pioneering programme. If you have at least one year’s experience of working alongside people, either within a mental or physical health setting, education, social services or the voluntary sector, this course will help you build on your interpersonal and creative skills and develop new competencies as a Dramatherapist.
