Advanced Clinical Practice PGCert, PGDip and MSc

Brunel University of London

This part-time programme will enhance your clinical knowledge and develop your research skills to enable you to critically reflect on your practice in various areas of rehabilitation, thereby optimising your clinical practice and enhancing service delivery. Additionally, through exploration of links between research, theory, policy and practice, you will become an effective leader, educator and advanced practitioner. At Brunel, we understand the challenges of fitting study around work and family life. For this reason, we have designed this course to be flexible, so that it can fit in with your current commitments. The full master's course can be studied for 3 years part-time starting in September. If you don’t want to commit to part-time study of the entire master's, you can develop your educational portfolio over a longer period of time by undertaking staged study that leads to the award of Postgraduate Certificate (PgCert) after one year of study, Postgraduate Diploma (PgDip) after two years of study and full Masters (MSc) after three years of study. Please note that it is important you apply for the stage you will be studying in that year, i.e. to study for the PgDip you must have already completed the PgCert and you only apply for the staged MSc once you have completed the PgDip. Following successful completion of this course, you’ll be fully prepared for a leadership role as an advanced practitioner in your relevant clinical profession (e.g. nursing, occupational therapy or physiotherapy) or can move into a variety of senior positions within a range of healthcare settings. There are an increasing number of advance clinical practice roles and this master's will give you the relevant knowledge and skills to step into these positions. Potential roles you could assume include Advance Clinical Practitioner or Case Manager. This programme is ideal for senior clinicians, clinical leads, managers, and research academics who are looking to develop and improve the care and experience of patients and their families, along with service provision.
