BSc (Hons) - Practice Development (Top up)
Work in health or social care and want to upgrade your diploma to a degree? Want a truly flexible course to fit in with your career plan and lifestyle? Our Practice Development top-up degree ticks all your boxes.
If you’re an experienced practitioner looking for a professional edge, our programme will provide a stimulating and engaging learning experience, equipping you with the knowledge and skills to be an innovator in your field.
You’ll get the utmost flexibility with our course. Choose bespoke modules to suit your individual needs and select whether you want to study full or part-time, at one of our campuses or from your own home by distance learning.
If you’d like to take things gradually at your own pace, start with a single module, building towards a University Advanced Diploma (60 credits) and then a full degree (120 credits). We make it easier for you to reach your potential because flexibility and choice sit at the heart of our programme, so you can fit your studies around your busy life.
This programme will provide you with the opportunity to develop intellectual, analytical, and problem solving skills which encourage the development of mature and independent decision making and reasoned judgement. You'll develop conceptual knowledge and practical understanding of how techniques of enquiry enable the critical analysis, interpretation and application of contemporary evidence within the learner’s sphere of influence.
We'll also facilitate your development as a leader and/or change agent, able to respond to a dynamic practice environment. We provide a learning experience which promotes the application of a robust client/user focus and a collaborative approach to both learning and practice.
Applicants who do not hold 120 level 5 credits, but who demonstrate at interview and through submission of a portfolio of evidence, an equivalent level of knowledge gained through relevant work based qualifications and / or experience, may be allowed entry to the programme. This decision will be at the discretion of the programme leader and does not constitute the award of credit via APEL.
