- MSc/Postgraduate Diploma/Certificate/CPD 1-3 years
Overview
Research in Health Practice is a modular postgraduate programme which has been designed to meet the professional needs of a range of health and social care practitioners who are interested in developing their skills as researchers in practice. The programme offers the flexibility to enable students to build their knowledge and skills in designing and conducting programmes of research. Most appealing is the online aspect, meaning that students can remain within their practice area whilst gaining that allimportant Masters level qualification, helping them progress their career to specialist practitioner or consultant level within the NHS.
The programmes provide an innovative and integrated blend of knowledge-based, activity-based and experiential learning, underpinned by self reflection and peer review. A virtual learning environment will form the focus for organising the learning, providing a platform for discussion and sharing of ideas.
