Informal enquiries are welcomed. Students should have an honours degree (2:2 class or above) or equivalent, in a relevant subject (i.e. health related, pure science or social science) from an approved institution of higher education. If you do not meet these criteria you are advised to contact the course leader for advice. Transfer of credits in accordance with University regulations may be possible.

• Students normally have at least two years post qualifying clinical experience in practice OR proof of equivalent experience in practice.
• Be working in, or able to access a practice environment that will enable them to meet and achieve the course learning outcomes.
• Have identified a work based mentor, who will support and guide your development throughout the course.
• Be able to provide two references (one practice/work and one academic).
•  Be able to satisfy the course leader that you are competent to pursue the programme.

All students will be interviewed. The purpose of this discussion is first to ensure that you understand the nature of the programme and its demands and to pathway plan your modular route leading to the identified award and exit point. Identification of financial support will be noted.

Your application will be considered on its merits and in the light of the nature and scope of the programme. If you do not meet the above criteria you may still be considered for admission to the programme; you will be required to provide evidence of suitable experience and supportive qualifications.
