Course Overview

Working life is complex and organizations are looking to executive coaching to help them work through the demands and challenges they face. In the Department of Organizational Psychology at Birkbeck, we recognize the issues that organizations experience and have the expertise to support those demands. Our new MSc Coaching Psychology expands on our successful Postgraduate Certificate in Coaching Psychology, offering you the opportunity for a deep exploration of this helping relationship. The program combines practical and theoretical study to not only develop your professional expertise but also give you greater self-awareness and understanding. You will investigate pragmatically and critically how coaching works in organizations and how it is an important skill for leaders. The skills and knowledge you gain from this MSc can be applied within your organization and to leadership roles and help you progress a career in coaching.
