Academic Requirements:
Applicants will normally be required to hold a good degree (second class and
above), usually in arts and design. Other disciplines such as psychology,
teaching, nursing, the humanities, and graduate level professional
qualifications in appropriate disciplines such as Occupational Therapy and
Social Work are also considered.
Applicants need to evidence that they can meet the academic demands of a
Masters degree and will be required to prepare and submit a written personal
statement to support their application.
All candidates must present a portfolio of their art work at interview. For
the purposes of online interviewing, we request that the portfolio is
uploaded alongside the rest of the application. The art portfolio should
demonstrate the applicant's psychological and emotional exploration of self
through the art making process. All the plastic arts and electronic media
are welcome at the interview. The brief for the portfolio is deliberately
vague for applicants to bring their own understanding of what it means to be
a practising artist. The portfolio should demonstrate a strong comment to
their artistic practice along with a fluidity of self expression within a
variety of mediums. International applicants are asked to provide an
e-portfolio link within their application form to any appropriate online
repository.
Applicants should demonstrate a maturity of personality and self-awareness
compatible with training as a therapist. Applicants need an appropriate
degree of psychological mindedness including the capacity to form and
maintain appropriate empathic relationships with clients. They should also
demonstrate emotional literacy, robustness and an ability to be
self-reflective. This is addressed through a combination of assessments,
including a health screening form, searchingquestions at interview related
to different parts of the training and experiential work.
Applicants will be expected to have appropriate clinical experience of
having worked within the past five years within a setting and with clients
relevant to the Programme. This might include working with children, adults
or older adults in the areas of learning disabilities, mental health,
hospice care, dementia care, neuro-disability, homelessness etc. (this is
not an exhaustive list). This work can be undertaken either on a voluntary
or employed basis.
