Course content
This one-year MSc (or two-year part-time) blended learning course will provide you with a solid grounding on coaching psychology theory and practice from a broad variety of psychology perspectives, helping you to use a research and practice-informed approach to promote change for individuals, organisations and their communities that is sustainable – attainable, lasting, and respectful of the wider social and environmental context.
Additionally, the MSc Coaching Psychology programme covers a wide range of transferrable skills with real-world value, with an emphasis on personal development, professionalism and employability.
You will be expected to work towards a minimum of 80 hours of coaching supervised practice (for BPS Stage 1 accreditation), building on taught coaching psychology skills and practice during sessions (with a mandatory minimum of 20 hours of supervision, embedded in the course).
Research modules will introduce you to advanced research methods, which you will apply to your very own research-based coaching psychology project.
You will be assessed through observed skills practice, written assignments, supervisor’s reports and the completion of coaching hours. This course has no examinations.
