Postgraduates Degrees in Coaching Psychology


We have decided to start with the Online Master in Coaching Psychology and the Online Professional Doctorate in Coaching Psychology from Middlesex University in UK to begin with information about this discipline that in the last years started to have more academic presence and entity.  Specially after the first and second International Coaching Psychology Congress and of course after many countries worldwide adhered to the International Society for Coaching Psychology.

Many universities in the world have incorporated Coaching Psychology as a topic and even a complete course on different careers as Psychology, Counseling and Social Work. Still, there are not many universities in the world offering a complete academic degree in Coaching Psychology. Academic degrees in Coaching Psychology are offered in UK, Denmark and Australia.
In Australia, the University of Sydney offers different postgraduate studies in Coaching Psychology for students holding a Bachelor degree in Psychology of at least 4 years.
In UK different universities have incorporated diverse Coaching programs, being Middlesex University one of the leading universities that offer different programs in Coaching Psychology.

The big news are that now it is possible to study a postgraduate degree in Coaching Psychology in a distance learning/Online mode. Now it is possible to study a Master Online in Coaching Psychology or a Professional Doctorate in Coaching Psychology Online from Middlesex University from every place in the world.
Originally these programs were ment for psychologists and health workers with experience in Coaching that want to purse a MA or PhD in Coaching Psychology, learning and applying this practice as well as enlarging the research within this field.
Now it is also directed to experienced Coachs aiming to extend their practice and knowledge incorporating insight of coaching practice from psychology perspective.
Another good news is that it is also open to people with degrees from other fields willing to enter into the Coaching Psychology world and become Coaching Psychology Professionals and/or to deepen into Coaching Psychology Research (Students holding degrees that are not related to behavioral sciences and/or that have no experience in Coaching practice will be requested to complete introductory courses in each discipline that will be offered also in an online mode).



Strenghts of the Online MA and PhD in Coaching Psychology

The accesibility and convenience provided by the online mode learning allows to the students to manage their own study schedule and also to be in permanent contact with their tutors and peers. This also make possible for students from different countries to have access to a postgraduate degree in Coaching Psychology.

Flaws of the Online MA and PhD in Coaching Psychology

Profesionals holding a degree in a different area than behavioural sciences and with no experience in Coaching will need to complete introductory courses for both disciplines of at least 60 academic hours.

Coaching is an interactive practical discipline, the main on learning coaching is the experience part which an online course even with the web2 platform they offer can barely provide. For the same reason it will be also lacking the rich dynamic that group work usually endow.*



*We have asked the program director about this, and according to him this should not be an issue due to two main reasons: (1) It is meant for people that already have a career and experience in Coaching practice (2) Different Coaching practices worldwide are associated with the academy and they will provide the vivencial part for people with no previous experience in coaching.
