Overview

The Mindfulness Based Cognitive Therapy course from University of Oxford is best suited to applicants with professional experience in mental or physical healthcare, education or skills training, stress reduction, or other contexts that involve working with individuals and groups in supportive ways.

Overview

The course offers an opportunity for in-depth learning and aims to foster a community of mindfulness practitioners and teachers with the expertise to deliver high-quality MBCT in a variety of settings, including healthcare, education, workplaces, criminal justice, government, and others, and who will contribute to the development and dissemination of MBCT.

The course combines in-person learning in Oxford with online learning. In addition to the taught component, students will need to set aside six to seven hours per week for private study, personal practice related to MBCT, and completion of written assignments. Much of the teaching is interactive and experiential, and weaves together personal practice, skills training, theory, research and applications of MBCT. Students are supported in developing for themselves the understanding and skills they will be teaching to others.

The course addresses the theoretical foundations of MBCT, including relevant aspects of psychological science, as well as aspects of Buddhist psychology and philosophy on which MBCT draws. It also provides opportunities for students to develop the practical skills they need to translate knowledge and understanding into competent MBCT teaching; that is, students are expected to develop for themselves the understanding and skills they will be teaching to others. Students will design and deliver a course of MBCT to an appropriate client group in their own place of work, with supervision from course tutors.
