The course is an academic post-graduate course requiring evidence of critical and independent thought. Preference will be given to candidates with demonstrable experience in systematic therapies with a commitment to the CBT approach.

Teaching is pitched at a post-graduate level so candidates need to be able to produce academic work to this level relatively independently.
