Art Therapy

Introduction

On March 1st 2016, the Hochschule für Kunsttherapie Nuertingen (HKT) merged with Nuertingen-Geislingen University (HfWU).

Since then, Nuertingen-Geislingen University offers at its campus in Nuertingen the innovative and internationally recognised master degree program Art Therapy. It leads to the degree Master of Arts (M.A.).

Our consecutive master's degree course is an application-oriented follow-up from the first professional qualification and results in an artistic and academic double qualification for professional practice in many settings.

The course contains practical projects which students carry out on their own initiative. It can be seen as a central area of learning and is embedded in a research workshop where students learn to implement their practical project in a methodical manner and to evaluate it.

Further information can be found on the German Website.
