What is a Masters with Advanced Practice?
A Masters with Advanced Practice is an extended 21-month long Masters degree that includes either an Internship or Applied Consulting Project and enables students to gain real-world experience as part of their course.
Internship
Students undertaking an Internship will experience a workplace environment, produce reflective reports and take part in a project where they can apply previously learnt theoretical concepts to a real-life industry issue. Please note that internships may be paid or unpaid.
Applied Consulting Project
Students undertaking the Applied Consulting Project will gain experience working with clients, sticking to budgets and deadlines, carrying out research, and delivering consultancy on a previously identified issue.
The Advanced Practice portion of the course takes place after completing the taught modules and will enable you to put your learning into practice and enhance your professional prospects when you enter the competitive job market after graduation.
