About this course Our MSc Advanced Clinical Practice masters apprenticeship allows you to individualise your postgraduate learning journey. Through a mix of core and option modules, reflecting a range of clinical specialties and areas of interest, you can tailor your study to best meet your career aspirations.
This two-year, part-time degree apprenticeship incorporates off-the-job learning to develop your knowledge, skills and the behaviours aligned to the Advance Clinical Practitioner apprenticeship standard (ST0564).
Year 1 of the degree apprenticeship consists of five core (compulsory) modules totalling 90 credits, with Introduction to the Principles of Advanced Clinical Practice as the initial module for all learners.
The following modules reflect each of the four pillars of advanced practice and are evenly weighted. This ensures that you gain a solid foundation of knowledge, skills and attributes in line with the Multi-professional Framework for Advanced Clinical Practice Capabilities (HEE, 2017), with the 'knowledge, skills and behaviours' of the Advanced Clinical Practitioner standard (ST0564) fully reflected.
In Year 2, you will undertake modules worth a further 90 credits, from a combination of core modules and two option modules (20 credits each). You can select either Independent and Supplementary Prescribing as an option module at the start of Year 2, or alternatively a module focussing on the development of advanced practice within your own area of specialist practice.
Following this, you will choose anther option module and undertake the development of your research inquiry.
The final element of the programme is a 20 credit integrated End-Point-Assessment module.
The programme is usually taught over one day a week. Year 1 is delivered on an alternate day to Year 2, providing flexibility within a full-time work basis.
Upon completing your degree apprenticeship, you will graduate with a Level 7 MSc Advanced Clinical Practice masters degree, totalling 180 credits.
