MSc. Mindfulness Based Wellbeing - Teaching Mindfulness in Schools“I can highly recommend this course. From the very first lecture I immediately felt at home. It is heart warming to be among a group of people who share the same passion and who are embarking on a mindful journey in Mindfulness based Wellbeing. A warm and caring environment is created by the extraordinary, skilled and inspiring lecturers. Their knowledge and wisdom guide you in a steady and supportive way. This training has a very strong focus on supported experiential learning and deepening one’s own personal practice. This course has further ignited my passion for integrating mindfulness into my day as a teacher, both in school and outside of school. It has greatly enhanced my sense of well-being and that of my class pupils.”
MSc Personal and Management Coaching“It took me over 10 years to find a course that prompted me back to further education. The MSc in Personal and Management Coaching was exactly the course for me. It offered evening lectures and weekend workshops to accommodate a full time job. The diversity of the modules offered something for everyone and the quality of the lectures made it easy to go from work to UCC. There was a fantastic camaraderie within the class. Very quickly we knew we were on a learning journey together and we all helped each other along the way. The learnings from open discussions are so applicable and relevant to every aspect of life. This course equipped me with the skills and confidence to truly use a coaching approach in my workplace helping my team to reach their potential.”
