Course content

The first course of its kind in the UK, Psychoanalytic studoes (M16) offers an in-depth analysis of the origins, development and application of psychoanalysis:

• Deepen your knowledge of key psychoanalytic concepts, learning through discussion, infant observation and experience
• Explore the application of psychoanalysis to contemporary culture and society, including analysis of the arts, politics and literature
• Join a stimulating and creative learning community, with a staff team of senior clinicians and academics, and a diverse study body

The emphasis of this creative course is on learning from experience. You will be encouraged to use your own emotional responses and cultural knowledge, as well as the learnt theory, to help make sense of the ideas that you will be studying.

Whether you're considering the course out of academic interest, as a preparation for clinical training, or to ultimately undertake your own research in this area, it will deliver a psychoanalytic education like no other.
