All assignments are credit rated and focus on work based issues. Employment in a teaching, training or lecturing role is an entry requirement. Many graduates have achieved their aim of combining clinical and educational roles in hospital, community and higher education settings. All the assignments focus on real world issues from both clinical and educational perspectives. The course has been conjointly validated by the University and the English National Board for Nursing, Midwifery and Health Visiting and confers an approved teaching qualification for those professional groups.
All assessment is by coursework.
Topics are negotiable between unit tutors and course members to ensure integration of theoretical perspectives and work related issues. Teaching practice is assessed in the workplace. The part time weekly course is delivered over 3 semesters. Semesters 1 and 2 include three core units. Optional units are normally taken in semester 3 and the dissertation is prepared in semester 4 under individual supervision.
