Postgraduate Prospectus

Recent years have seen major shifts in professional boundaries within the health service. Increasingly, nurses and other registered practitioners are taking on roles that have traditionally been the domain of doctors.

This MSc Advanced Clinical Practice has been specially created for those practitioners, giving you the in-depth knowledge, skills and confidence to manage complex cases within your specific area and boost your career prospects.

Focusing on high-quality teaching with plenty of opportunity to develop clinical skills in a practical setting, the course provides an educational structure that links to relevant competency frameworks and supports the NHS Career Framework.

One of the key benefits of the course is that you will work alongside students from a variety of backgrounds and specialist fields, giving you the chance to share experiences and best practice. 

Applications for September entry are usually considered between February and June of the same year. Please contact the course director before you apply.

If, for whatever reason, you do not wish to take the final project module, you can complete the course with a Postgraduate Diploma Advanced Clinical Practice.
