Course programme

The DProf programme
This will be a joint Middlesex University and New School of Psychotherapy and Counselling programme. It will lead to a Professional Doctorate in Existential Psychotherapy and Counselling. Successful completion of the doctoral programme will also lead to accreditation as an existential psychotherapist with the United Kingdom Council of Psychotherapy.

Curriculum
The four year programme will require your presence at College for one day a week for three terms a year. There will be some weekend workshops to attend as well. In addition you will need to be in a continuous supervised psychotherapy placement for the latter three years of the programme, as well as producing a number of substantial pieces of qualitative research, case studies and a final dissertation. We require you to be in on going personal existential therapy as part of your training (at least 150 hours in total).

The programme will be offered on an intensive basis for distance learners. Some units of the first two years of the programme, at level four, can be taken either on a Wednesday, on a Saturday or on an intensive basis for those entering the programme with advanced standing. The last two years of the programme, at level five, can only be taken on an intensive basis at this stage, though some of the required elements will also be offered on a Wednesday.

Entry Requirements
1. You will need to have a good Bachelor’s Degree in a relevant subject or have equivalent professional training and experience.
2. In addition we require you to have completed a foundation course in psychotherapy and counselling such as the New School’s own Foundation Course. If you have not yet done such a course you may enroll initially on our Wednesday evening or intensive foundation course.
3. You will also need to show personal suitability for the course. After receiving your application we will invite you to an interview with the Director of the programme. In this interview we will discuss theoretical, practical, personal and research elements of the programme. An interest in philosophy and evidence of a self-reflective life-style will need to be shown as well.
4. Students who have previously studied at a postgraduate level may be eligible for advanced standing on the postgraduate programme. This will be assessed on an individual basis at interview. Those who have previously completed the NSPC MA in Existential Psychotherapy and Counselling will be in a position to enter at level five after a programme planning module.
