Our MSc Advanced Practice (Distance Learning) part-time programme offers a flexible pathway to earn an MSc in Advanced Practice entirely online, accommodating your existing professional and personal commitments.

This three-year part-time programme reflects national and international benchmarks for advanced level professional practice for the healthcare workforce, while supporting you to build a personalised qualification tailored to your specific needs.

Please note that this programme is not accredited by the NHS England Centre for Advancing Practice.
