Course Provider
The University of Exeter is a public research university based in Exeter, Devon, England, with additional campuses in Cornwall. It provides undergraduate and postgraduate education and conducts research across a wide range of disciplines.
The University of Exeter is a serious academic home for psychedelic study rather than a commercial training brand. Its offer sits closest to higher education and professional upskilling, with teaching rooted in psychology, philosophy, anthropology, neuroscience and clinical research, and with Celia Morgan and colleagues giving the subject clear research lineage. It is best for practitioners and researchers who want intellectual depth, university recognition and a structured route into the field, not for people looking for a hands-on facilitator school or retreat-style immersion.
Best for therapists, counsellors, psychiatrists and other practitioners who want to broaden into psychedelic work, plus learners with a research interest who want an academically grounded route into the area.
For the PGCert, Exeter asks for a 2:1 or above in a first degree in any subject, and also considers relevant professional or practical experience. International students must meet the stated English language requirement.
Exeter describes the PGCert as the UK’s first academically certified programme in psychedelics studies, and frames it as an accredited University qualification in Psychedelic Studies. The online short course is a university short course rather than a professional licence or clinical credential.
The PGCert is published at £5,000 for the full course, with flexible payment options and the ability to pay per module rather than upfront. Exeter does not publish a single price for all psychedelic offerings, because the MSc and short course are priced separately.
Learners gain an academic grounding in contemporary psychedelic research, therapy, neuroscience, anthropology, ethics, metaphysics and research methods. The PGCert is positioned as useful for aspiring psychedelic-assisted psychotherapists, practitioners seeking to upskill and learners considering further study; the MSc adds a research project and deeper postgraduate study.
