Education
We have associated ourselves with various academic institutes, clinics and hospitals to ensure that our education is contemporary, evidence based and meets the needs of healthcare providers across the globe.
The learning platforms range from campus-based study sessions, to distance and online learning – popular with nurses who can fit their study around busy work and home life. Expert practitioners from practice also contribute to the students’ learning experience.
We offer a wide range of vocational courses, often directly informed and endorsed by those working in industry. Many have professional accreditation.Research
Our key strength lies in providing high quality teaching from a supportive team of qualified academics and practitioners, thereby enabling our students to benefit from their research and clinical knowledge in a variety of settings.
Career
We produce high-calibre graduates who possess the skills that employers are looking for. The skills you will gain from a postgraduate qualification show that you’re able to study in-depth and undertake critical analysis. Both are viewed as desirable skills in the eyes of recruiters and future employers.
