About MPhil/PhD Psychotherapy & Counselling Studies, MPhil - at Regent's University London
Regent’s was the first UK institution to offer an MPhil/PhD in Psychotherapy & Counselling Studies.
From the beginning, the emphasis has been on welcoming students from a wide range of academic disciplines relevant to psychotherapy, psychology and counselling studies.
The degree offers the opportunity to immerse yourself deeply in the research experience and interact with others at this level of academic work.
The PhD is an academic degree and does not lead to professional registration in psychotherapy or counselling, or to chartered counselling psychology status.
This programme is validated and awarded by the University of Wales, UK.
Why should I choose this programme?
The overall aim of the PhD programme is to enable you to produce a doctoral thesis that makes an original contribution to the creation, interpretation and/or application of new knowledge in the field of psychotherapy, psychology and counselling. This may be done either through conceptual and/or empirical research.
