Course Overview

Our MSc Mindfulness & Compassion is delivered in conjunction with the Mindfulness Association. The program is underpinned by psychological theory and research and is designed to train individuals to become specialist teachers of mindfulness and compassion.

This degree has an academic basis in psychology and will develop your understanding of the links between psychology, mindfulness, and compassion whilst building on your teaching and practice skills.

Through the degree, you will develop evidence-based knowledge of psychological well-being, biological psychology, and consciousness and will develop a knowledge of the theoretical underpinning of these psychological concepts before applying them to mindfulness and compassion. You will frequently reflect on the links between these concepts and your own teaching and practice.
