A degree is a recognised benchmark
of academic attainment. This is the only undergraduate
degree programme of its type in Clinical Hypnosis in the
UK. The course provides you with a detailed scientific
understanding of the principles and practices of Clinical
Hypnosis which are developed through a culmination of
research, practical experience and continued exploration
of current therapeutic approaches.
