Summary
Overview Our MSc Advanced Professional Practice programme reflects national and international benchmarks for advanced level professional practice for the healthcare workforce, while supporting you to build a personalised qualification around your own advancing professional practice role.
In addition to core modules, you'll choose from a wide range of optional modules, allowing you to tailor the programme to the context of your career. This programme is accredited by NHS England’s Centre for Advancing Practice and is therefore closely aligned to the NHS England Multi-Professional Framework for Advanced Clinical Practice in England (HEE, 2017) and underpinned by the four pillars of advanced practice.
Flexible learning is key to this programme. The course can be completed almost entirely online, with just a few key modules requiring attendance on campus. Most modules are available as Continuing Professional Development (CPD) standalone modules. Please visit our CPD section for further information about individual CPD modules which can help you to progress into this programme. We’ll also recognise prior learning against optional module credits if you’ve undertaken credit-bearing modules in other institutions in the past five years that relate to your current scope of practice.
As this programme requires you to be assessed in practice and to undertake a quality improvement project within your clinical setting, you must have the support of your organisation. It’s essential that your organisation commits to meeting the programme's assessment and governance requirements.
Here at UEA, you’ll benefit from our innovative online and blended teaching and learning methods. We embrace and encourage diverse professional perspectives and backgrounds to promote an inclusive and participatory approach. We focus on you as an individual, supporting you to evaluate your limitations and strengths and encouraging you to reflect on your learning journey and career goals. We’ll support you to achieve your full potential, offering you access to advisers and specialists within the school, as well as the University’s dedicated student support service. You’ll graduate with the knowledge and skills to progress your career to the next level, ready to meet the ever-changing demands of modern healthcare practice.

|---|---|
| Entry requirements | An upper class honours degree (2:2) in a Health and Care subject. Successful applicants will have recent experience of working in a professional role in a health, education or care setting. Students will typically hold a professional registration with a recognised health or care professional body. All applicants who are not a British national and/or whose first language is not English will need to demonstrate a suitable level of English language proficiency. This is equivalent to an IELTS 7.0 overall, with a minimum of 6.5 in all components, although we do accept many other types of qualifications or tests. In accordance with the UKVI Tier 4 visa guidelines, we will also waive the English language requirement for applicants who meet the defined nationality test or who have completed a degree level course in one of the listed countries. |
