Our dynamic and flexible programmes in Advanced Clinical Practice are designed to prepare healthcare professionals—across a range of disciplines and clinical settings—for advanced practice roles. Through specialist pathways, including critical care, midwifery, and musculoskeletal physiotherapy, students gain both theoretical knowledge and practical skills.
At Birmingham, we recognise that a full Master’s programme may not suit everyone. That’s why we offer a variety of credit-bearing and non-credit short courses designed to fit around your schedule - enabling you to upskill and progress in your career on your own terms.
