Overview of the teaching concept

Guided self-study

In contrast to a study program with attendance or complete self-study (also: individual study), guided self-study specifies the learning content. As with individual study, teachers are not present, and the time and place of study can be freely chosen. The guided self-study, however, offers you a given thematic and temporal framework and concrete tasks, which are carried out in a self-determined learning process, but which have to be mastered in certain periods of time and in certain forms of learning and working. In addition, teachers and tutors are available to you as contact persons and to support the structuring of guided self-study. The teachers and tutors enable you to structure learning material independently in several ways, compile suitable information, and use it for the respective requirements of your studies.

The MSc Body Psychology and Body Psychotherapy from the University of East London and AIHE GmbH offer you a structured framework for a self-determined learning process. In order to achieve this, comprehensive teaching material and literature, as well as study papers, are made available in the “virtual tutorial” on a learning platform (more detailed description under „virtual tutorial“). In addition, there is thematic and methodological support from tutors, which can be used independent of time and place using common communication media.

Main program focus

The content and structure of the master’s program support an evidence-based understanding of Body Psychology and Body Psychotherapy. Starting from the introduction to the fundamentals of the program, Body Psychology, and Body Psychotherapy contents and competencies are systematically imparted, whereby successive modules aim to analytically tie in with the knowledge acquired in the previous module so that they can be integrated for the understanding of the following module.

Depending on professional requirements and areas of responsibility, students develop a sound theoretical basis and associated skills in the field of Body Psychology and Body Psychotherapy.
