Advanced Practice PGCert

This exciting programme offers nurses working in a range of clinical environments and geographical contexts opportunities to develop personally and professionally, focusing particularly on developing skills and knowledge for clinical practice
The programme has been designed to meet the needs of both UK based and international nurses and can be studied at Certificate, Diploma and Master's level depending on your needs. The programme is invaluable for all nurses who want to develop excellence and share good practice in clinical practice.
There are two intakes per year, September and January and the programme is delivered on a modular basis over a period of 3 and half years. You will undertake four taught modules that will expand your thinking and expertise in current and clinically focused topics, developing skills for your area of clinical practice. These are followed by a research based dissertation. Over the first two years of the programme you will study a module each semester (September and January). You will study a core module for the programme, one of six professional modules, one of two research modules and a final module from our portfolio. Two of the core modules for this programme are delivered by a combination of face-to-face and online learning (Clinical Assessment and Non-Medical Prescribing), so these are only available to local students who can attend all study days. Students based further from Dundee can undertake Contemporary Challenges in Acute and Critical Care as the pathway core.
