Overview

This 16 month taught Masters programme nurtures talented and innovative professional practitioners, placing practice at the forefront. The course is delivered through the five specialist pathways long associated with the School of Nursing & Midwifery, enabling students from differing professional backgrounds to review their own practice and share balanced and critical findings that contribute towards improving the quality and efficiency of health and social care provision on a global level.

We work closely with our local Healthcare providers to design bespoke clinical experiences for our Masters students. Each student will undertake 225 hours' clinical experience in a setting relevant to their studies to allow them to develop their ideas to completion. Students work within regional centres of excellence, and many develop contacts and friendships that continue throughout their careers.

Advanced Professional And Clinical Practice Highlights

The programme lasts 16 months, during which time students complete 6 specialist nursing or midwifery modules, a clinical placement and a dissertation.

Career Development

  • This course will appeal to registered nurses and midwives working in a wide variety of areas who are thinking about their own career progression.
  • This programme produces exceptional practitioners who have the skills necessary to promote and sustain innovative and emerging practice. Graduates of the programme go on to positions of leadership or research and teaching careers.

Student Experience

  • Students from different professional backgrounds come together on this programme and share expertise, review their own practice and share balanced and critical findings that contribute towards the improvement of the quality and efficiency of delivery of healthcare on a global scale.
  • Students on this programme undertake a practice placement with one of our internationally-recognised practice partners. Placements are carefully designed for each individual to optimise their experience and learning outcomes.
