MSc/PgDip/PgCert Cognitive Behavioural Psychotherapy

University of Salford

This course can be studied at postgraduate certificate, postgraduate diploma, and master’s level.

The postgraduate diploma and master’s level are accredited at Level One with the BABCP (British Association of Behavioural and Cognitive Psychotherapists). This means you can apply for accreditation upon completion of the course, after accumulating 200 hours of clinical practice and 40 hours of supervision.

You will gain insight into how to use Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) creatively and collaboratively with clients, as well as how to assess, formulate, provide interventions, and evaluate your work with them. This course focuses on interventions with clients who have anxiety and depression, as well as those with personality disorders, schizophrenia, and other complex needs. There are also opportunities to study new developments in CBT, particularly those related to mindfulness and compassion-focused therapy.

You will also have access to the CBT symposium, which we hold annually at Salford. This two-day event brings together clinicians, academics, and professionals from the CBT workforce to network and discuss best practices. It’s an opportunity for you to see CBT in action.
