Location of Kingston University
We developed this programme in response to new roles and ways of working in practice. Suitable for any advancing healthcare professional, it is ideal for experienced practitioners who wish to develop and advance their level of knowledge and skills within their own field.
What will you study?
The course is an interprofessional MSc programme, offering the opportunity to work towards professional competencies (eg NMC). Due to its flexibility, an education and practice mentor as well as a research supervisor provide individual support. The course director will oversee all aspects of student support.
You can claim 90 credits of relevant assessment of prior learning (APL) towards the MSc, including up to 45 credits at Level 6 (L3). There is also an 'allowance within the course' of 45 credits at Level 6 (L3), if you have not already fully used your APL allowance. These L6 modules may be selected from the range of CPD modules available.
