The right academic level for you
Many of the modules are available at both level 6 (degree) and level 7 (masters) and choosing the right level is important. You don't need to have a degree to study a level 7 module or start a master's programme but you do need to demonstrate that you are ready to study at that level. If you already have some credit at level 6 this should be fine, but if you don't have credit at the right level please contact us to talk about considering your experience as equivalent.
Our provision
Our programmes include the MSc Advanced Clinical Practice with many of the modules being accessible as standalone. This programme is mapped to HEE(2017) (Higher Education England) Multi-professional framework for advanced clinical practice in England NHS and apprenticeship route, the Apprenticeship standard for Advanced Clinical Practice (STO564).
You can see the other master's level programmes our our Postgraduate study pages.
