This course enables you to develop your skills and qualify to practice Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT).

If you have already completed a Postgraduate Diploma in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, this programme will allow you to top-up your existing qualification to a full master's degree.

Why study this subject?

There is strong competition for employment in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and having the higher qualification of MSc will help enhance your career prospects. It could also open up promotional opportunities within the field of psychological therapies.

Why study at Buckinghamshire New University?

At Buckinghamshire New University we value our partnerships within the local community, including the West London NHS Trust, one of the largest mental health providers in the UK. The Trust is responsible for well-known institutions such as Broadmoor and other clinics treating more specific illnesses such as personality disorders.

This course is ideal to those who may already possess a PGDip in CBT, but who wish to complete a masters thesis in the area of CBT and top up their PGDip to a full MSc.

What are my career prospects?

As a qualified Cognitive Behavioural Therapist you will be ready for a rewarding career within the NHS, private or commercial sectors. You will immediately have the ability to apply your knowledge to improve the wellbeing of others.
