Course content

With a strong emphasis on skills development, underpinned by extensive simulated and real-world practice, the immersive opportunities on this Masters degree will allow you to refine core coaching skills through role play, case-based scenarios, and supervised placements. You will also benefit from developing these skills within our bespoke Coaching Clinic.

The programme has been carefully designed to ensure you graduate as a highly skilled, reflective coaching practitioner, ready for roles in a range of professional settings, including business, health, and education. This Masters centres on the scientist-practitioner model and a process-based cognitive-behavioural approach.

You’ll also develop skills in relationship-building, intervention techniques, research, psychometric assessment and reflective practice. You’ll focus on ethical conduct, self-reflection, and client engagement within a structured and supportive learning environment, building on your ability to work with clients seeking coaching for personal, professional, or organisational development.
