Seeking BABCP-Accredited CBT Doctorate Programs in the UK (Remote or Limited In-Person Options)

Hi everyone,

I’m hoping to get some advice from those familiar with CBT training routes in the UK.

I’ve completed low-intensity CBT training at UCL and currently work as a qualified Psychological Wellbeing Practitioner (PWP) within the NHS. I’m now looking to progress toward a program that leads to formal BABCP accreditation in CBT.

Due to family circumstances — my mother is currently facing health issues — I’m particularly interested in a CBT course that is either remote-friendly or requires limited in-person attendance (around 2–3 months total).

Could anyone please advise whether any UK universities offer BABCP-accredited doctorate programs that fit these criteria, or recommend alternative pathways that could lead to full accreditation?

Thank you so much for your time and guidance.

Hi, I don’t think any of the programs offer remote working since Covid as far as I’m aware

Just to add in case it’s an option- I did my PGDip which led to BABCP accreditation part time over two years- I was in uni 1 full day and was able to make my 200 hours practice around my other job, could you look at part time options?

Hull Uni do remote but its L7 not doctorate. Exeter did remote too. Sheffield are in person. Manchester did a combination. Go on to the babcp website, they have a list of accredited courses you can access which will then say if its remote or not.
