MSc Cognitive Behavioural Therapy

Within the clinical practice, you deliver cognitive behavioural therapy interventions under the supervision of a BABCP-accredited supervisor. You work with a range of service users with depression and anxiety disorders to fulfil all criteria for your final portfolio. Clinical practice enables you to develop cognitive behavioural therapy competence across various mental health disorders. As a candidate, you must work in an appropriate clinical area before applying to the programme.

The role of the cognitive behavioural therapist is becoming increasingly prominent in modern healthcare. As a graduate, you have statutory and non-statutory mental health services opportunities.

You should have a health-related degree 2:2 (or above) and work with clients with anxiety or depression. Throughout the programme, you need to make arrangements to access suitable CBT clients from referrals to relevant mental health services, have access to videotaping equipment and weekly CBT supervision from BABCP-accredited supervisors. You must confirm this before you are accepted onto the course.
