Summary
This programme, which is designed for nurses, occupational therapists, physiotherapists and other professional groups working in the field of mental health, develops your skills to work as a clinical expert, manager or educator in settings where distress arising from mental ill health is an influence on outcome.
Students are able to undertake the master’s programme and can link that qualification to a choice of development within three key areas: therapeutic skills, education or leadership.
The programme is designed for students currently working within environments where mental health impacts on client outcome and includes consideration of current mental health theory, the use of supervision in practice, theories around change management, the development of research investigation and dissemination skills, a review of the main research theories and eventual development of a final research report or proposal.
All of the modules are shaped by the student’s pathway choice and relate to their work environment.
Due to this programme running fully online, we welcome applications from international students with appropriate qualifications and background.

---|---|
Entry requirements | You must have a professional background and be working within environments where mental ill health is a determinant on client outcome. You will need an identified workplace supervisor and a supportive manager to assist you across the duration of the course. You must also have a relevant Ordinary bachelor's degree or equivalent qualification at SCQF Level 9 (i.e. Graduate Certificate in Acute Care) normally within the past five years and have a command of current, evidenced based knowledge within your chosen subject. Consideration will be given if you have an Ordinary bachelor's degree in a related topic or gained your degree several years ago where continued further development in knowledge through postgraduate studies would demonstrate currency in certified learning, at the discretion of the Course Leader. |
