MSc Advanced Practice

  • DeadlineStudy Details:

    MSc 2-4 years part-time

Course Description

The MSc in Advanced Practice is aimed at all health and social care staff who are looking to develop their knowledge and skills as advanced practitioners. 

Over the past decade, the emergence of competencies, conceptual frameworks and operational tools, together with government and educational drivers, has firmly placed the notion of advanced practice and advanced level nursing as a core development area in the practice workplace. 

Why choose this course?

This Master’s course is likely to appeal to a wide range of professionals including:

  • community matrons
  • caseload managers
  • social work team leaders
  • managers from prison and probation service
  • team leaders working in sexual health and substance abuse
  • midwives
  • senior or consultant nurses (or those hoping to move into that role)
  • independent practitioners.

Entry Requirements

Applicants need:

– a first degree (or equivalent professional qualification) in a health or social care related subject (for example a nursing / physiotherapy/social work degree)
– to be working as a health and social care professional (usually at least two years full-time or equivalent), with a significant professional experience for advanced practice.

If applicants do not have a first degree but possess substantial work experience, they are still invited to apply. In these cases, applicants will be asked to complete a questionnaire which maps practice experience to the learning outcomes for a Level 6 degree and also to present an essay/report to demonstrate their potential for studying at masters level.
