Entry requirements
Healthcare professionals from a range of disciplines will be eligible to undertake the programme. Some of the modules in the programme require students to be working in a clinical area where they can develop their skills and knowledge to complete the required competencies. You'll normally need to have a degree or equivalent and work in a health or social care related area. We operate a flexible Recognition for Prior Learning (RPL) system by which students who do not have a degree may be eligible for entry. We recognise that students applying for this course may have acquired significant learning from previous educational and life/work experience. We can offer potential students the opportunity of having such learning assessed for credit. This credit would go towards your application for this course.
