which provides students with the academic, clinical and personal learning necessary to achieve registration as a UKCP-registered psychotherapist. Graduates from this programme go on to work as psychotherapists and counsellors in a range of public, private and voluntary sector contexts. The programme prepares students to work effectively with a wide range of adult clients.  <\/p>\n<p>The MSC in Integrative Psychotherapy combines rigorous academic learning of relevant theoretical and practical knowledge alongside a strong emphasis upon developing reflective capacity and personal competence. Alongside their academic learning students are required to complete a clinical placement from their second year onwards where they will do a minimum of 450 hours of client work. They will also attend ongoing personal therapy across the four years for a minimum of 160 hours.   <\/p>\n<details class=\"wp-block-details is-layout-block is-icon-caret\">\n<summary style=\"color: #fff;background-color: #65696a\"><span>What does this course cover?<\/span><svg class=\"icon icon-caret\" aria-hidden=\"true\" viewBox=\"0 0 320 512\"><path d=\"M310.6 246.6l-127.1 128C176.4 380.9 168.2 384 160 384s-16.38-3.125-22.63-9.375l-127.1-128C.2244 237.5-2.516 223.7 2.438 211.8S19.07 192 32 192h255.1c12.94 0 24.62 7.781 29.58 19.75S319.8 237.5 310.6 246.6z\"><\/path><\/svg><\/summary>\n<div>\n\t\t\t\t\tWhat does this course cover<\/p>\n<p>Each year students will take one theory and one practice-based module.

In addition to their university studies, students will undertake weekly personal therapy across the four years of the programme and will be in clinical placement from year 2 onwards. <\/p>\n<p>In year one you learn your foundational, relational approach based on an integration of Gestalt and Psychodynamic principles whilst also covering ethics and professional practice issues in preparation for the responsibilities of undertaking placement work. You will also learn the fundamentals of relational presence and awareness via guided small group practice. <\/p>\n<p>In year two your relational awareness is deepened by greater emphasis upon unconscious processes and you will learn developmental frameworks. In order to support your early client work experiences, the programme also teaches the fundamentals of short and long-term working and provides guidance on how to work with common mental health difficulties. <\/p>\n<p>In year three you will get to grips with more complex client presentations whilst adding in techniques, concepts and strategies from Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Constructivism.<\/p>\n<p>In year four you will undertake a research project whilst developing more advanced clinical competencies.\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/p><\/div>\n<\/details>\n<details class=\"wp-block-details is-layout-block is-icon-caret\">\n<summary style=\"color: #fff;background-color: #65696a\"><span>How will I be assessed?<\/span><svg class=\"icon icon-caret\" aria-hidden=\"true\" viewBox=\"0 0 320 512\"><path d=\"M310.6 246.6l-127.1 128C176.4 380.9 168.2 384 160 384s-16.38-3.125-22.63-9.375l-127.1-128C.2244 237.5-2.516 223.7 2.438 211.8S19.07 192 32 192h255.1c12.94 0 24.62 7.781 29.58 19.75S319.8 237.5 310.6 246.6z\"><\/path><\/svg><\/summary>\n<div>\n\t\t\t\t\tHow Will I Be Assessed? <\/p>\n<p>The programme uses a mixture of academic and practical assessments with traditional essays on theory matched by presentations of clinical work.
