Postgraduate Taught Courses
We have trained hundreds of MBSR and MBCT teachers with our established and experienced team of mindfulness teacher trainers. We now offer a 3 year Mindfulness-Based Approaches Masters, which is eligible for a postgraduate loan.
Listen to the Director of the Mindfulness Master’s Programme talk about the course

Hi. I'm Dr. Gemma Griffith, and I run the Masters of Mindfulness here at Bangor University.
[0:06]
So here at Bangor, we were actually the first university to establish a masters in mindfulness program in the world,
[0:13]
and we've been running for over 20 years now. So it's a blended learning.
[0:17]
MASTERS So that means that you come to Bangor about three times a year to do in-person teaching,
[0:23]
and then the rest of the time you can learn online services and a master's that's really designed
0:13
[0:28]
for people who either work full time or part time or have other kind of family commitments.
[0:34]
And most of our students finds that it's it's very much doable in the context of their lives.
[0:40]
But the classes for mindfulness, you have treats that you can choose from.
[0:43]
So one is used to be that would like to train to be a mindfulness teacher to come on that route.
[0:48]
You don't necessarily need any teaching experience or you might have lots of teaching experience of mindfulness,
[0:54]
and we have a huge variation of people that started that teaching pathway.
[0:58]
So you get the full training to be a mindfulness teacher with us and you get a masters degree,
[1:04]
and you also get something called the Certificates of Competence, which is the highest certificate you can get in the UK.
[1:10]
And for mindfulness teaching the other way, which isn't may and mindfulness based approaches.
[1:16]
So that roots is for those of you who want to explore mindfulness personally
[1:21]
in your own class and practice and want to study it as an academic subject
[1:25]
So there are quite a few modules you can choose from a collection of perspectives about that.
[1:29]
But essentially you get a grounding in mindfulness research and we also really encourage
[1:35]
you to bring in your own interests and expertise and experiences into your studies.
[1:40]
And this culminates in the thesis on the topic of your choice as a really
[1:44]
supportive community only masters program that emerges over time with your fellow
[1:50]
students and cheeses so that those opportunities for connection and study
[1:55]
throughout the year and you've got this with the flexibility of blended learning,
[1:59]
which means you can fit this around other commitments such as work or family.
[2:03]
