MA DEGREE IN REFUGEE CARE
University of Essex, Centre for Psychoanalytic studies

The MA in Refugee Care is an innovative degree that is offered jointly by the Centre for Psychoanalytic Studies at the University of Essex and the Tavistock Clinic in London.

Unlike other academic degrees on 'Refugee Studies', the emphasis of this unique programme is on enabling students to work directly with refugees and asylum seekers in a variety of different settings. The central focus of this programme is on the introduction of a therapeutic dimension and a psychosocial perspective to working with this client group.
