Master
The research modules, classes and labs, and the research project leading to a master thesis offer professional tools for the dance movement therapy student at two levels: first, it generally contributes to an increased understanding of dance movement therapy. Second, it introduces enquiry, evaluation and research methods that help the dance movement therapy practitioner to understand and develop practical approaches to treatment. Students learn how an enquiring approach adds value to the therapeutic profession. By seeking out information and developing evaluation skills students link their arts form, and therapeutic experience with theoretical knowledge and acquire the skills of a reflective practitioner.

After graduation
The programme leads to a master’s diploma, MA students emerge as critically engaged and enquiring dance movement therapists. This training enables them to make significant contributions to the further development of the field, both nationally and internationally. Dance movement therapists can be employed in public mental health services, social service agencies with crisis intervention programmes, day centres, prisons, special education and geriatric institutions, and in private practices. Dance movement therapists can work as artists and therapists in ‘arts for health’ projects and can play an important role in prevention. And last but not least dance movement therapists also conduct research, publish articles and move on to a PhD degree.
