The programme provides health and social professionals with the opportunity to gain a comprehensive understanding of the challenges faced within a variety of healthcare settings.

A broad range of module choice will help you to develop a body of knowledge that will influence your practice and the practice of others in your professional sphere.

Course programme

The programme’s core modules introduce you to the skills and methods of research and subsequently involve the completion of a dissertation.

The Research Methods module will help you to develop skills in specific aspects of research methodology and equip you to prepare a proposal to undertake a small scale piece of research. The emphasis throughout is on the practical application of research principles to ensure that practice is evidence-based.

The Advancing Practice Project module offers you, with the support of an academic supervisor, the opportunity to develop your ability to independently produce a sustained piece of work.

In addition to the two core modules, you will select modules from the Faculty of Health and Social Care’s undergraduate professional development module portfolio and/or opt for specific modules relating to one of the pathways.
