Course summary
Course description
Our MSc Advanced Leadership for Professional Practice course gives allied healthcare professionals the knowledge and skills they need to enhance their practice and prepare for leadership roles.
The course is aimed at registered professionals such as dieticians, audiologists, speech and language therapists, physiotherapists, paramedics and occupational therapists who seek continuing professional development opportunities.
You will study content that reflects professional, UK-wide government and international benchmarks for advanced level practice in health and social care, enhancing your suitability for revalidation.
This includes contemporary knowledge and skills in clinical and direct care practice, leadership and collaborative practice, improving quality and developing practice, and developing self and others.
You will learn how to develop efficient and ethical ways of working that offer a better quality of life and care by placing service users and carers at the centre of decision-making and service redesign.
Teaching and learning
We use a range of teaching and learning methods, including face-to-face, blended and online learning.
The course focuses on an active learning approach and is designed to prompt the discovery, processing and application of knowledge through collaboration and cooperation.
You will draw on your own experiences - both academic and work-based - when learning. The course will promote the construction of understanding through task-related activities and reflection.
We have extensive experience and good practice in online learning, with dedicated e-learning technologists to support you and our staff in making the most of the e-learning platform.
Coursework and assessment
You can undertake standalone course units, or build up a selection of optional and core units and then undertake a dissertation to complete the master's course.
A range of assessments are utilised to assess your knowledge and understanding and to develop intellectual and practical skills.
The dissertation unit enables you to consolidate your learning and demonstrate the achievement of outcomes by undertaking a project focused on a specific aspect of practice. You can study individual units as standalone short courses or build up units of study towards a PGCert or PGDip award, and undertake a dissertation to complete the MSc award.
Career opportunities
Our course is structured around the challenges facing advanced level practitioners, and each unit will draw from, and build on, your own professional experience.
This will enable you to apply your new knowledge to your own area of practice and mould the course to best suit your learning requirements.
