Why choose this course?

The MSc Professional Practice in Health enables professionals from a variety of health disciplines and workplaces to come together to learn. The overall aim of the course is to provide a comprehensive, modern and dynamic programme for students seeking to develop their career within the increasingly diverse area of health.

  • Break down the barriers that exist through this model of working, re-focusing on person centred care and the benefits that inter-professional working can bring to the people in our communities.
  • Students will be encouraged to take a broad perspective to their learning, appreciating how global, international, national, and local influences, shape the practice of professionals in their area of health and social care provision.
  • There will be opportunities for students to guide their own learning to reflect the diversity of the student group, both from a professional and an individual perspective.
  • Our approach also acknowledges the varied workplaces and areas the students work within, ensuring that the potential to maximise the impact of their studies is recognised.

Key course features

  • Develop systematic knowledge and critical understanding of healthcare from a local, national, and global perspective.
  • Demonstrate transferable skills that are necessary to make decisions requiring the exercise of personal autonomy and initiative: including problem solving, leadership, resilience and reflexive capacity in complex and/or unpredictable situations.
  • Evidence critical awareness of current problems and/or new insights.
  • Comprehensively discuss and provide critical comments on research evidence and scholarship within areas of health.

Teaching & Assessment

Assessments will be designed to ensure that students reflect their area of practice and professional expertise in summative and formative work, and that there is evidence of emersion and developing expertise commensurate with Masters level study. Appropriate academic assessors will be allocated to facilitate this.

Assessment methods include, but are not restricted to: Written Assignments, Reflective Portfolio, Presentations, and Reports.

Teaching and Learning

We offer workshops and support sessions in areas such as academic writing, effective note-making and preparing for assignments. Students can book appointments with academic skills tutors dedicated to helping you deal with the practicalities of university work. Our student support section has more information on the help available.

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.

This programme assists health care practitioners to develop within the NHS Agenda for Change careers and employment framework, with achievement of Masters level study being a key attribute of those wishing to progress through Band 7 and above roles.

Emotional intelligence, communication and leadership will be threads throughout all modules, with compassionate leadership being an indicative learning thread. This is both to reflect the developing practitioner, the requirement of evidence of masters level study for those pursuing Band 7 (and above), and the importance of developing a sustainable and resilient workforce. This will enable students to explore both academic and professional progression, and aims to increase the future employment options of students undertaking the programme.
