Developed in partnership with local health care providers, the MSc Advanced Clinical Practice Degree Apprenticeship is designed to offer a pathway for experienced healthcare practitioners to study and practice as an apprentice to achieve the requirements for Advanced Clinical Practice (ACP).
Advanced Clinical Practitioners use their expertise ‘to manage defined episodes of clinical care independently, from beginning to end, providing care and treatment from the time an individual first presents through to the end of the episode, which may include admission, referral or discharge or care at home’ (IfA, 2018).

Modules studied on the programme:
- Advanced Health Assessment
- Assessment and Management of Complex Health Conditions
- Understanding Social Research and Evaluation
- Professional Development in ACP for Apprentices
- Non-Medical Prescribing
- Research in Practice (Dissertation)
Essential information
Apprentices are in full time employment whilst studying for the three-year MSc degree. They practice their newly acquired knowledge and skills within the workplace for the benefit of patients, service users and colleagues.
The course includes a variety of practice experiences and assessments, combined with academic studies designed to complement and underpin the apprentices’ experiential learning. This approach is designed alongside a combination of face-to-face university teaching supported by online learning. Professional development sessions supported by an ePortfolio workbook facilitate practitioners to map their practice to Advanced Clinical Practitioner standards. As this is an apprenticeship, there is a final End Point Assessment.
The location of study can be negotiated but it is expected that students will be required to spend the equivalent of one day per week at our City Campus.
At least a second class honours degree in the cognate subject of Health. (Applicants without a degree should complete the Professional Portfolio Development Module)
GCSE English Language and Mathematics at Grade C (Grade 4) or above or an equivalent qualification.
A minimum of 2 years post registration experience and be able to demonstrate through your personal statement that you have developed professionally to a level that prepares you for an advanced professional role.
Evidence of support from an appropriate work based medical facilitator for support in developing the advanced clinical practice competencies.
Applicants will need to satisfy the requirements for access to the Non-Medical Prescribing module as stipulated by the NMC/HCPC.
Please note applications are submitted through the relevant employer, not directly from applicants.
Before starting an apprenticeship, applicants will be required to sign a “Commitment Statement” which details key information regarding the apprenticeship such as learning requirements, responsibilities of the apprentice, employer and university, assessments, delivery schedule, etc, some of which are detailed below.
