Following a successful HCPC validation process this year, we are delighted to announce that the first fully accredited, Masters-level Dramatherapy training programme in Scotland will be offered from the 2022-23 academic year. The programme will take place at Queen Margaret University (QMU) in Edinburgh, with which we have built a close relationship over the last three years, including offering an Introduction to Dramatherapy Short Course in 2019-20 (and again currently) as a way of building interest in the full programme.

This introductory course (4 x weekends over 4 months) was a development of three introductory courses offered at the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland (Glasgow) between 2018-2019. Several interested students have engaged in a number of these training opportunities and the full MSc programme is meeting a growing demand, noticed over a number of years, for an accredited programme in Scotland.

The MSc Dramatherapy will sit within the School of Health Sciences and will be offered as a pathway within a framework shared by Art Psychotherapy and Music Therapy. The programme will include shared modules with students from the above two courses, as part of integrated, interdisciplinary learning, while also maintaining the integrity of the experiential processes at the core of all Dramatherapy programmes. It will be offered as a 2-year, full time programme only initially, with applications now open for a first student intake in 2022/23. We hope that all BADth members may be able to support the promotion of this first Scotland-based programme in whatever way you can.
