Masters level

The masters’ programme represents the third step in the skills escalator. Designed to meet the professional development needs of people already working in the field, the masters’ programme assumes a good working knowledge of personality disorder, and aims to "develop expertise and enhance practice".

Like the undergraduate degree, the masters’ programme consists of modules that can be taken as stand-alone units of learning, but it is envisaged that most people will complete the programme in its entirety.

The principal aim of the PD KUF programme is to provide training that will lead to an improvement in service provision that will benefit service users. This is most directly achieved through practice-based training with skill-based learning outcomes. While containing appropriate academic content and intellectual challenge of a post-graduate programme, the masters’ programme will focus throughout on extending the proficiency and capabilities of workers in the field.

The masters’ programme is outlined in the diagram below:
