You can take modules for continuing professional development or exit with a Postgraduate Certificate or Diploma.
Career Outcomes: Graduates can pursue roles in therapy, counselling, social work, safeguarding, victim support, offender management, research, policy and training within health, social care and third-sector organisations.
This MA in Understanding Domestic Violence and Sexual Abuse is unique and represents the first psychologically informed programme of its kind.
It is particularly suitable for people wanting to increase their grasp of the interplay between mental distress, domestic violence and sexual abuse. The programme will offer a blended learning approach with a mixture of online and face to face contact. The online components will be largely focused on the acquisition of theoretical knowledge through computer-mediated activities via the Virtual Learning Environment (VLE).
The classroom-based content of the programme will have an emphasis on experiential and reflective learning which will help you understand the process of identifying, assessing and managing both perpetrators and victims. This aspect of the programme will be delivered in blocks preferably on weekends to make the study more accessible to working adults.
Individual modules on the programme are likely to be valued as part of a continuing professional development plan for psychological therapists and other workers in the field.
You may take individual modules separately or exit with a Postgraduate Certificate or Diploma.
