Programmes leading to the awards of MSc Advanced Practice (Nursing) offer healthcare professionals who are normally graduates, the opportunity to engage in full-time or part-time postgraduate studies and to develop the skills to meet the challenges of delivering and advancing quality healthcare within a global context. Although students must hold an internationally recognised professional qualification, for some awards/modules, students are not required to be in current clinical practice in the UK or to be registered with the Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC) of the UK.

These programmes, whilst developed largely with registered nurses in mind, provide the student with the opportunity to study alongside other health and social care professionals, voluntary sector personnel and service users for some modules Continuing professional development funding may be available for some modules and courses. However, access to funding for part or all of an award cannot be guaranteed. For further information about eligibility for funding please see
