Step Up To Masters Individual Modules

Apprehensive about the jump from Undergraduate to Postgraduate study? Step Up to Masters has been developed in order to ensure prospective students are able to effectively hit the ground running with their Postgraduate future.
Step Up to Masters is perfect for students who may have completed their first degree a while back, students who also are competent professionals but do not have a first degree and also even students who are continuing their academic careers straight out of Undergraduate study.
Successful completion of the Step Up to Masters programme will help facilitate students to perform academically at Masters level: learning and testing their ability to effectively critically analyse and evaluate, challenge and debate current evidence and demonstrate how they have moved the boundaries of knowledge within their discipline. By providing students with such knowledge and understanding will help underpin the vital academic skills for master’s level study.
Support is available throughout the course with the provision of a specially dedicated postgraduate team at the University who can help from anything to applying for your postgraduate course to the funding elements of Master level study.
Individuals will be able to use this module as part of an award - such as our popular MSc Negotiated Learning in Health & Social Care - which is accessed by many Healthcare, Social Work and Social Care professionals - or prior to enrolling on their chosen postgraduate award.
The course is delivered via a Blended Learning Approach (3 face to face study days) or a full Distance Learning version. Dates, times and venues are listed below:
