Cognitive Behavioural Therapy

This MSc responds to growing demand for cognitive behavioural therapy across healthcare. It explains how scientific principles underpin CBT practice, and how evidence is generated, located, appraised and applied in real clinical decisions. Students extend their CBT skills with targeted techniques for treating depression and anxiety disorders. Critical analysis and synthesis of underpinning theory sit alongside personal growth and professional development in a caring, student-centred setting that values each learner's experience. The final stage strengthens academic credibility through research awareness. Applicants who already hold a postgraduate diploma in CBT may be considered for advanced standing in that final stage, which lets them move directly to it. The course prepares students to apply their learning in clinical services and to keep developing as practitioners.
