You must be prepared to undertake some part of your clinical placement in a hospice or in work with patients suffering from cancer and agree to practise Art Therapy with cancer patients for two years following successful completion of your MA.

For the successful applicant, the Trust agrees to pay your tuition fees of up to 60% (home fees) for each year of your programme, and to pay £5,500 per annum for a further two years, as a part-time salary while you work as an art therapist (in a hospital or cancer clinic) after successful completion of the programme. You will be known as the Corinne Burton Art Therapy Student, whilst studying at Goldsmiths and as a Corinne Burton Art Therapist once you are qualified and engaged in part-time work.
