5 POST GRADUATE STUDY OPTIONS

5.1 Programme aims

TPC Leadership, in partnership with the University of Portsmouth Business School,

created and delivered the first MSc in Coaching and Development in the UK eight years

ago. From 2012, the curriculum has been evaluated and redesigned to create a new

programme that we believe is most relevant to and fit for today’s times.

We have also created an enhanced learning experience, augmented with new media to

create a flexible learning path.

Whether you are an internal or external coach, this postgraduate programme will help

you make an incredible difference to your coachees by enabling you to create

sustainable change.

We provide a holistic approach to coach development, taking the very best of what

experience has shown us are the most effective disciplines for coaching, so we are not

just tied to one form of coaching. Consequently, we work with a number of

psychological models and other disciplines, giving coaches a range of tools and

techniques that create the most impact for the coachee in their specific context.
