Entry requirements

A Bachelors Honours degree with minimum 2:2 in any subject, or equivalent. You must have been registered with your respective statutory regulator of health and care professions (i.e. NMC, HCPC, GPhC), for a minimum of 3 years and provide proof of current registration. Level 2 English and Maths (i.e. GCSE grade C [‘4 with new grading system] or above). If you do not hold this, you must complete this level prior to applying for the MSc Advanced Clinical Practice Apprenticeship. Other level 2 equivalent qualifications might be eligible in place of GCSE but must meet the acceptable qualifications for English and Maths requirements for apprenticeships defined by the Education and Skills Funding Agency (ESFA) at level 2 and above. If English is not your first language, you will need to provide evidence that you can understand English to a satisfactory level. English language requirements for this course are normally IELTS (academic) 6.5 or above with minimum 6.0 in writing and 6.5 in speaking, listening, and reading. PSRB registration will normally be accepted as evidence for the English language requirement if the PSRB requirements were at or above the University requirements for postgraduate study.
