Achieve your career goals thanks to our flexible postgraduate programmes.
Where do I start?
All our postgraduate programmes are designed to match the requirements of employers and professional bodies. As a result, a masters degree, research degree, or doctorate from us represents your passport to more senior clinical roles. We also give you the flexibility you need to work and study at the same time, which means no gap in your CV. You can even choose which elements of which courses you want to study to top up your skills, fitting your individual career path precisely.
Postgraduate Taught
All our postgraduate programmes can be broken down into core, required and optional modules. Core modules must be taken as part of the requirement for the qualification, required modules will be necessary to complete set pathways, and optional modules may be selected to satisfy your individual aims or interests. If you wish to take one of our postgraduate degrees in the future it might be worth taking one or two modules before you enrol. That is because up to 30 credits can be transferred.
Postgraduate Research
Currently we offer three doctoral doctorate programmes: the PhD research doctorate, an Integrated PhD in Clinical and Health Research and the taught Doctorate in Clinical Practice (DClinP). As a student on any of these courses you will represent an integral part of our vibrant and dedicated research community.
Learning
Most programmes require attendance at university along with a set number of study hours, whilst others involve more online learning.
You will also undertake independent study, as well as assignment preparation where relevant. A significant part of your learning will be demonstrated through assignments and may also be assessed in practice. For modules studied at a distance, tutorial support will be provided online.
Work based learning
This is a flexible approach that may be tailored to the exact needs of an individual or group that is undertaking the same learning. It will give you the opportunity to gain academic credit for the knowledge and skills you are currently developing and using every day. This option has no predetermined outcomes. You will agree a contract for the learning you wish to achieve with your manager or academic adviser at the outset.
Understanding credits
All modules are credited using the new European Credit Transfer System (ECTS) which replaces the former Credit Accumulation and Transfer System (CATS). Typically, a post graduate diploma is 60 ECTS; a bachelors degree is 180-240 ECTS and a masters degree is 90 ECTS. Doctorates are not normally credit rated, however, our DClinP is 180 ECTS.
Understanding academic levels
Higher education level 5: HE level 5 (diploma) Higher education level 6: HE level 6 (degree) Higher education level 7: HE level 7 (masters) Higher education level 8: HE level 8 (doctorate)
Clinical Academic Doctoral Fellowship Scheme
This scheme is open to postgraduates on our PhD programme who are aspiring to become clinical academic leaders of the future. The skills you gain will enable you to become future Directors of Nursing, Professors of Nursing, or Professors of Allied Health professions.
