Art Psychotherapy,MPhil

We offer opportunities for students who want to pursue research in art psychotherapy.

• Goldsmiths has a world-class reputation for creativity and innovation, and a commitment to encouraging interdisciplinary collaboration.
• You meet your supervisors regularly for discussion and guidance, and present your work to the Art Psychotherapy research student group.
• You also attend the Goldsmiths Research Methods Training Course.
• Whatever your topic, you have your first supervisor in Art Psychotherapy and may have your second in another department – Art, Educational Studies, Psychology, or Sociology, for example.
• For MPhil and PhD study, you usually register for research by written thesis (although there are also possibilities for research based on a written element and studio practice).
