Doctorate in Coaching Psychology

The School for Advanced Studies offers a Doctorate in Coaching Psychology in a 26- month to 4- year program designed for students with a master’s degree and Experience/Knowledge in coaching assessed by a faculty advisor.
This program is specific to each candidate and will be driven by his/her choice of research. The candidate chooses a specific topic of study and undertakes research which not only meets all the criteria for Doctorate level work but also has the potential to make an impact upon the student’s own practice, that of their peers and their profession. It is an opportunity for coaches interested in research at this level to work on an area of direct impact upon practice with the support and advice of researchers from a range of disciplines.

Most students find it more stimulating and efficient to learn in a group setting where topics can be broadly discussed in a forum setting and when possible can even meet in person. A coach and academic advisor are assigned to each student throughout the course and are readily available online or via telephone/webcam tutorials for each student to receive personal support and feedback as to his/her progression and achievements. In addition, all students will have the possibility to attend an intensive 10 day training seminar.

The course outline is as follows:
1. Lectures
2. Exercises
3. Practicum - implementation of exercises either individually with the coach or in a forum setting with additional students & coach
4. Reading & Written Submission

The course is divided into two stages:
1. Stage 1: Review of Learning to date and preparation of research proposal.
2. Stage 2: Research activity and preparation of the research report.
