The successful completion of the definitive MA course of studies with psychoanalytical core subjects at the IPU opens up a diverse range of professional and other opportunities for the further personal and professional development of its graduates.

We place value on ensuring that the study courses are flexible and held in a friendly, familiar context that provides much space for exchanges and practical experience.
