Our Experience
Our clients choose us for the flexibility and credibility of our programmes that offer customised solutions. We work closely with a range of clients within the public, private and charity sectors within the UK and internationally. We were the first university to offer postgraduate accredited programmes in coaching and mentoring and continue to lead the field globally.
These practical programmes have expanded over the last decade, attracting a variety of individuals, from those wishing to begin a career in coaching and mentoring, to experienced coaching professionals, global business managers and senior executives.
As a world-class centre for coaching and mentoring, we have a vision of robust, effective, professional coaching and mentoring practice making a real difference to the lives people lead.
Our mission is to expand the knowledge base of coaching and mentoring by promoting cutting-edge research and teaching.
We demonstrate these principles by producing both high-quality research and publications and leading professional development at master's and doctoral level. The same focus underpins our consultancy and evaluation of programmes.
“I’m delighted to have taken part in the ILM 7 Coaching and Mentoring programme. The team at Oxford Brookes did a wonderful job, sharing new ideas and exploring their use as part of my executive coaching work. I particularly valued the group and 1-1 supervision as well as the excellent feedback on my practice.”
