About this course

On this course you’ll develop an educational, training or mentoring role in your sector of healthcare. It’ll help your career path in education alongside clinical practice, enhancing your role in your team and enabling you to make a real difference.

Our MSc meets the professional body requirements for nursing and midwifery: it will allow you to work towards the Nursing and Midwifery College (NMC) practice teacher role and the NMC Stage 4 teacher recordable qualification. It also provides evidence to gain GP Trainer status and as a student, you can apply for a fellowship with Anglia Ruskin and the Higher Education Academy.

As our course is open to people from a wide range of healthcare environments, you’re likely to find yourself studying alongside doctors, consultants, nurses, dentists, midwives and allied health professionals, enriching your student experience. Inter-professional learning is key to the development of this course and many of our lecturers are also professionals in the healthcare field.

Candidates will require a minimum of 3 years post professional registration/experience and a minimum of a 2:2 degree honours. Students must be registered practitioners in the field of health or social care. It is anticipated therefore that students undertaking the course will currently be employed in professional practice and will be engaged in facilitating teaching and learning as part of their professional role.
