Enhance your career prospects by becoming a well-informed, evidence-based practitioner, aware of the bigger picture and able to challenge the status quo and lead developments in your own setting and beyond. This programme prepares you for advanced practitioner roles, teaching and management. A survey of our graduates revealed that their practice was enhanced by increased confidence, the ability to articulate a coherent argument and being better able to fulfil clients’ needs by being guided by research evidence.
As you are likely to be in on-going employment in health, social care or business settings you will have access to careers support and guidance through your individual employers, NHS career websites or Royal Colleges. However, as a student with the University you will also have access to the additional facilities and resources offered by the University's Careers Service, including:
- careers information
- advice and guidance, which is impartial and confidential
- help with applying for jobs, including application and interview preparation
- job vacancies
