Dramatherapist courses
Dramatherapist pre-registration master’s courses
5 pre-registration master’s courses for dramatherapists, at 5 UK universities, all 2 years across England and Scotland.
What the pre-registration master’s route means here
A pre-registration master’s is a career-changer route. It assumes you already hold a degree — sometimes in any subject, more often in a related science or social science — and it covers the same regulatory standards in a compressed, year-round timetable. Applications usually go direct to the university rather than through UCAS, and competition tends to be sharper because the cohorts are small.
Every approved dramatherapist course in the dataset follows this route, so this page and the full dramatherapist listing show the same 5 courses. That in itself is worth knowing: there is no alternative kind of programme to weigh up in this profession at the moment, so your decision is about university and location rather than about route.
None of these courses carries a UCAS code in the dataset, which normally means applying direct to the university or, for apprenticeships, to the employer advertising the vacancy. 2 publish a typical offer in a citable form, shown in the table below. Whatever the route, a substantial part of the programme is assessed practice placement rather than campus teaching, and that is where most of the travel goes.
