Nadia Paruk is a recent graduate of the Master of Arts (MA) in Psychoanalytic Psychotherapy. She told us about studying in DBS and how her course helped her in her professional life.
"I studied the for the MA in Psychoanalytic Psychotherapy as it is an area that I have been always been passionate about. Having studied in the area of psychoanalysis previously I was eager to enter in to work in which the clinical component was emphasised and this Masters provided that. The clinical experience I gained in the three years was an invaluable part of my training.
The course has benefited me on both a personal and a professional level. During my time at DBS, I found there was a real hands on approach in terms of the lecturer/student dynamic. There was a great support system all around and I felt comfortable in this environment.
The nature of such an area, which deals with working in the area of the mind requires a lot of support and it was provided in spades. Even the library offered such personal assistance, it made doing my thesis that bit easier!"
