An additional clinical year is offered to students who successfully complete
the requirements of the two year Master of Arts in Arts Therapy programme AND
meet the requirements for entry into the third year and final year (see below).
Students who successfully complete the additional clinical year will graduate
with a Master of Arts in Arts Therapy (Clinical) degree.
The clinical year may also be offered to students from other institutions

encouraged to develop skills that are transferable to many settings, and to
develop a flexible and creative approach in order to be able to adapt to varied
and changing work circumstances.
