Course content
The programme is taught by an academically and clinically experienced staff team who are enthusiastic, supportive and approachable. Over the years we have had a diverse range of students join the programme from around the world, which enables discussions around different experiences and practice styles across the profession.
You will be taught in small groups how to locate, critically comment on, and disseminate a range of contemporary evidence. The programme uses a blend of lectures, tutorials, group discussions, practicals and research supervision.
You will have the opportunity to be involved with staff research projects and may do individual or group-based research depending on your particular area of interest or work; this will enhance your critical thinking, presentation and writing skills. The supervisors will challenge you and help to facilitate your progress. This journey may help you to continue to PhD studies or publication.
This course is available on a full-time or part-time study basis, depending on your preferred study route.
