We offer standalone units as building blocks of study, which allow you to work towards a post qualifying award, building on your work experience and qualifications to enhance your career progression.
We offer courses from PGCerts up to full Masters qualifications on a variety of subjects for a wide range of healthcare professionals.
We offer Apprenticeships across an ever-expanding wide range of subjects, designed for people to work and study at the same time.

Designed in partnership
All of our CPD and workforce development provision is designed in partnership with our partner organisations across health and care to ensure that it meets their workforce development requirements.
We recognise the industry’s need for high-quality health care workers. Our multi-disciplinary environment gives you the experience, key skills and knowledge to take away and apply directly into practice.
We offer you a close-knit community where you can be amongst likeminded individuals, collaborate and take your place in our close-knit community of health sciences students, researchers, academics and practitioners.
Build your own course
You can take units of study over a period of five years to complete your award, which may be a PGCert (60 credits), PG Dip (120 credits) or an MSC (180 credits). The delivery of the units is designed to fit around your working life, taking one unit at a time. You can choose from a variety of units in various subjects, some specialist and others generic in nature, building an award to reflect your professional career.
Students wishing to progress to the full MSc will be required to take 60 credits of core units, consisting of 2 units. The first is Research Methods (20 credits) followed by a dissertation (40 credits) or a Service Improvement for Healthcare (40 credits). The decision of pathway may be discussed with your employer/sponsor (if appropriate) and your academic supervisor. NHS applicants may be eligible for funding through their employing organisation. Applicants for the full MSc may be eligible for a Post-Graduate Loan.
