  • Enable practitioners to inform, enhance and develop their competency within their field of practice.

  • Study a course where 100% of graduates are in paid work or study 15 months after graduating. WGU analysis of unpublished data.

Teaching & Assessment

Advanced Clinical Practice students will be assessed in a variety of ways. The balance between the different forms of assessment is determined by the different aims and learning outcomes of the modules.

Assessment methods include academic assignments, case studies, poster presentations and examinations. As the programme is concerned with learning in practice, all students have a clinical portfolio which is completed as they progress through the modules. All students are required to have a DSMP and a mentor in order to support learning and assessment in practice.

Career prospects

Our Careers & Employability service is there to help you make decisions and plan the next steps towards a bright future. From finding work or further study to working out your interests, skills and aspirations, they can provide you with the expert information, advice and guidance you need.

On successful completion of the Advanced Clinical Practice/Advanced Clinical Practice (Therapies) course, students will be eligible to apply for advanced practice roles in a variety of settings.

In Wales, students will be eligible to use the title ‘Advanced on completion of the MSc.

As it is validated by the relevant PSRBs, on completion of the Non-Medical Prescribing module students will be able to record this qualification with their professional body (NMC, HCPC, GPhC).
