Coaching Psychology MSc

Edge Hill University

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. 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. Assessment is varied and designed to reinforce practical learning. Formative assessment includes structured role plays, interactive discussions, and reflective exercises, while summative assessment involves observed practice, reflective logs, oral presentations, critical essays, and written reports. This approach allows you to build confidence in your skills gradually, receiving ongoing feedback in a supportive environment. The Learning Edge VLE (Blackboard) supports the learning experience, providing resources and enabling you to track your development throughout the course.
