What you will study

Students normally register on the Clinical Practice BSc(Hons) top-up degree after they have completed one stand-alone module with us. Our course team will be happy to chat through the course, the modules and which of the five pathways are best for you. You can contact them at: [email protected]. To achieve the full BSc(Hons) you will need to complete 120 credits: two core modules and clinical modules as specified for each pathway (Acute Care, Cardiac Care, Emergency Care, Intensive Care, Neonatal Care). Modules include Evidence-based Practice, Quality Improvement Proposal, Intensive Care: Foundations of Practice (Level 6), Intensive Care: Enhancing Practice (Level 6), Neonatal Work-based Learning (Level 6), Neonatal Intensive Care and QIS (Level 6).

Career pathways

The course educates practitioners with at least one year of post-registration experience and facilitates career progression in a clinical speciality. Healthcare practitioners who do not yet have a level 6 degree qualification can take this Clinical Practice BSc(Hons) or our Professional Practice BSc(Hons) as a ‘top-up’ degree to meet the entry requirements for postgraduate studies in health.
