MSc Advanced Clinical Practice (Part-time)

About this course LJMU's MSc Advanced Clinical Practice degree programme allows you to personalise your learning journey by selecting optional modules from a range of clinical specialties and areas of interest, enabling you to tailor your studies to align with your career goal. This Level 7 postgraduate degree is delivered across two years and is studied part-time. The exit award is Masters of Science (MSc) Advanced Clinical Practice, with a total credit value of 180 credits (the total amount of credits required to gain a Master of Science qualification). Year 1 of the programme consists of five core modules totalling 90 credits. All students will study the Core (compulsory) modules which focus on each of the four pillars of advanced practice. 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). In Year 2, you will undertake modules totalling 90 credits. These are from a combination of 50 credits of Core modules, and two Option modules (20 credits each). To cater for the wide-ranging content of our courses and the varied learning preferences of our students, we offer a range of assessment methods on each programme. You will usually undertake one assessment for each module. Assessment methods will be authentic to practice, enabling you to demonstrate knowledge and competency, and replicate or further advance ‘real-world’ tasks that you might be expected to experience in your professional career. To help you prepare for written, verbal, practical and examination assessment, you will be given the opportunity to practise the appropriate related skills throughout your modules.
