The first degree apprenticeship in art therapy offers a new route to training
Teesside University has launched the first MSc Art Psychotherapy Degree Apprenticeship, subject to approval. The degree offers a new route into the profession. We consulted and supported with the development of the apprenticeship scheme within arts therapies.
What is a degree apprenticeship?
A degree apprenticeship gives people the opportunity to get a paid-for degree while getting sector experience and earning a salary. Degree apprentices do not pay for their tuition.
On completing the course, apprentices will be able to register as a qualified and professional art psychotherapist, ready for practice.
