Graduate Certificate in Art Therapy

The Graduate Certificate in Art Therapy in Arts is offered by La Trobe University.

Program Length: 6 MONTHS.

Subjects: 5.

A three-part learning approach incorporating experiential, theoretical and practical knowledge production underpins subject content and provides a foundation in art therapy principles of practice set within a humanistic framework. Students engage in art making practice, self-reflective activities, trainee level art therapy sessions, seminars and class discussions as well as academic assessment tasks.

The role of creativity, art making and psychological theory in relation to art therapy as a discipline are investigated and applied to child, adult or group therapy situations. These areas of learning form a foundation for future studies in art therapy and towards the Master Art Therapy qualification required for professional registration as an art therapist. Health or other professionals wanting to learn foundation studies in art therapy can graduate from this course to enrich or supplement their current roles. The Graduate Certificate in Art Therapy alone does not lead to professional registration however it may be a stepping stone to the full Master of Art Therapy.

CAREER OUTCOMES
Graduates of the Graduate Certificate may be able to apply for human services support roles with a strengths-based orientation, or where art making is designed to support independent living.
