Post Graduate Education
A Master's degree is an academic degree granted to individuals who have undergone study demonstrating a mastery or high-order overview of a specific field of study or area of professional practice. The two most common titles of master's degrees are the Master of Arts (M.A.) and Master of Science (M.Sc.); these may be course-based, research-based or a mixture of the two. They are designed for anyone who holds a bachelor's (undergraduate) degree in an appropriate subject. A Master’s degree is usually completed in 1 or 2 years of study.
Doctor of Philosophy, usually abbreviated as PhD, is an advanced academic degree awarded by universities. Universities admit applicants to PhD programmes on a case-by-case basis; admission is typically conditional on the prospective student having successfully completed an undergraduate degree with at least 2.1 honours, or a postgraduate master's degree. A PhD is usually completed in 3 or 4 years of study.
Postgraduate Degrees in Clinical Hypnosis
St Mary’s University College in conjunction with the BST Foundation accept applications from prospective postgraduate candidates. Prospective students wishing to apply to study at Master’s level or Doctoral level should send their C.V. to calvertt@smuc.ac.uk for the attention of the Programme Director, Dr Tig Calvert.
Graduation
Graduation is a
special time for both students and staff at St Mary's
University College and the BST Foundation. Graduation
is held in July and takes place in the historic Westminster
Cathedral. The Cathedral has a capacity of 1400 and is
a magnificent setting for our yearly celebration of student
achievement. Located in the heart of London, near Victoria
station, this event provides a superb visual spectacle
and the event is always well attended and enjoyable. After
the ceremony, a celebratory garden party is held in the
University College grounds in Twickenham with a barbeque
and music to entertain the graduates and their guests.
Springboard
to another Degree
The course has been specifically designed
to enable students to progress their studies further and
where appropriate to obtain a degree in psychology. Upon
successful completion of the DipHE in Clinical Hypnosis
students are eligible to enter the British Psychological
Society (BPS) accredited Psychology degree programme at
St Mary’s University College at Level 2. This means that
with only a further 2 years study students will also hold
a BPS accredited Psychology degree.
In other instances students can normally convert a higher
education diploma to a degree with one extra year of study.
This makes the DipHE an attractive alternative route to
obtaining a degree which may be more appropriate for individuals
returning to education as it allows you to study part
time initially before entering full time education.
In addition
credits gained through the CertHE (120 credits) or DipHE
(240 credits) in Clinical Hypnosis can also be used towards
a bachelors degree with the Open University. For more
information please click to visit Open
University .
Ongoing Training for Professionals
The Foundations clinical hypnosis course has
also been recognised for Continued Professional
Development approval from a range of governing
bodies. This has allowed psychiatrists,
psychologists, psychotherapists and counsellors
to use their training to contribute towards
their individual CPD requirements. Mental health
care professionals should contact their own CPD
organising body for eligibility.
Currently Practising or Previously Trained
Hypnotherapists
Currently practising
hypnotherapists may wish to complete the Diploma of Higher
Education in order to gain an academic qualification in
their specialist area. The Diploma of Higher Education
is the ‘gold standard’ in hypnosis training, and as the
Government are in the process of regulating all complementary
health professions, may in the future act as the minimum
standard of training required to practice. It is therefore
important to be able to offer currently practising and
trained hypnotherapists the opportunity to acquire a formal
academic qualification in hypnosis through completing
the DipHE. As recognition of practising hypnotherapists’
prior learning, students proficient in hypnosis and those
who can demonstrate a sufficient level of experience will
be accepted onto Level 2 of the Diploma of Higher Education,
therefore obtaining an academic qualification in hypnosis
through one year of study. Please click below for fast
