Our MSc Advanced Professional Practice (Nursing and Midwifery Professions) enables you to build your qualification around your personal professional needs by choosing optional modules relevant to your area of practice – including prescribing modules. It is also underpinned by the four pillars of practice for registered nurses described in the Advanced Practice Toolkit (i.e. clinical practice; facilitation of learning; evidence, research and development; and leadership and management).
You’ll be able to apply for Band 7 and Band 8 roles and undertake a wide range of advanced roles within your own field of scope. You can also become a non-medical consultant or clinical specialist, and can move into managerial, academic or research posts.
If you enjoyed researching and writing your project dissertation, you may also wish to progress onto a PhD. You can consult our Doctoral College regarding MPhil or PhD studies, or discuss your plans with your programme leader.
As a student with the University, you’ll also have access to facilities and resources offered by the Careers Service, including:
