The Master of Studies (MSt) in Coaching has been designed to address a gap in the market for experienced coach practitioners who wish to deepen their knowledge and understanding of evidence-based psychological models of coaching praxis, with academic modules in neuroscience, practical philosophy, systems theory and emerging trends in research – suitable for coaching in a range of contexts.
The programme is aimed at coach practitioners who have at least 3 years’ demonstrable coaching experience in their chosen domain. It is expected that candidates accepted onto the programme will either have an established coaching business practice or are working as professional coaches within an organisational context.
The Cambridge MSt differentiates itself from existing Master’s programmes offered by other higher education institutions in the UK by focusing on:
evidence-based models of psychological coaching
professional applicability beyond specific sectors and domains, such as mentoring, education or career coaching, to include the full range of coaching contexts
an inter-disciplinary approach that challenges students to develop a wide-ranging curiosity of thought and research
advanced critical thinking and problem-solving skills that results in robust academic writing and research output, commensurate with a world-leading institution
The MSt aims to produce graduates who:
develop high levels of expertise as advanced practitioners of coaching through engagement with current theoretical and methodological approaches and by learning through practice and reflection on that practice
advance their coaching practice through originality and experimentation with evidence based creative approaches suitable to a range of contexts
use contemporary theory and philosophy to develop and enhance advanced coaching practice through engagement with psychologically informed approaches
have the ability to critically explore and evaluate different psychologically informed approaches to advanced coaching practice
engage with and analyse current and future developments within the field of coaching
develop inherent curiosity and advanced critical thinking and research skills relevant to advanced practitioners in contemporary and future coaching scenarios in a range of contexts
feel safe to explore and experiment with new approaches, honestly reflect on their development and freely provide and receive feedback on their professional practice to enable the development of their authentic and unique coaching identity fit for the future of coaching
