Course content
Meet your CPD requirements as you work towards a full MSc degree
Our MSc Advanced Professional Practice allows you as a practitioner or manager working within a health and social care setting to focus on your professional development within your organisational and professional context.
The course builds upon the long and established tradition of delivering expert programmes at the University of Chichester, with our expert staff drawing on their experience to develop a personalised guidance framework that will enable you to achieve a masters level qualification as part of your continuing professional development.
Our approach has been informed by three key principles:
- Provide practitioners and managers with high quality courses that are professionally relevant and academically approachable.
- Offer flexibility and choice.
- Link closely to work practice so that practitioners can implement real change in their own organisation.
This course allows you to take a route to an MSc that facilitates development of your career beyond your current position.
This is ideal if you want to achieve a qualification that meets your personal goals such as advancing knowledge, carrying out research, enhanced teaching opportunities and opening new doors.
You have the option to build towards a full MSc just one module at a time.
Similarly, you may leave the programme with the interim awards of Postgraduate Certificate or Postgraduate Diploma. These are standalone postgraduate awards and can also be steppingstones to a full MSc.
This is ideal if you wish to return to your studies after a break or are hesitant about committing to a full MSc.
