MSc Cognitive Analytic Therapy

ACAT now offers an MSc in CAT. This award constitutes the completion of a research stage of the CAT Practitioner Training (PG Diploma)

CAT training on a Sheffield Hallam University (SHU) validated course is offered at three levels:
(i) CAT Skills Level one year course (PG Certificate)
(ii) CAT Practitioner two year course (PG Diploma)
(iii) MSc in CAT. This award constitutes the completion of a research stage of the CAT Practitioner Training (PG Diploma)

The Masters Degree (MSc CAT) is the Postgraduate Diploma (i.e. CAT Practitioner level PG Diploma) plus submission of a research dissertation (60 credits). If students do not have recent research experience then it is anticipated that they will complete a 15 credit research module followed by a 45 credit dissertation (SHU validated modules). Supervision for these projects will be from both SHU staff and ACAT trainers.

Students on the MSc/PgD programme will complete the same core modules with combined clinical assessments indicating that graduates from this course are clinically competent, safe and effective practitioners, eligible for ACAT accreditation.
