Seize a valuable opportunity to share knowledge in a multi-professional forum as you work towards an MSc in Community Health Practice. Tailor your studies to your personal and professional interests while reflecting on the place that your clinical practice occupies in relation to other community health disciplines.
A blended learning approach allows you to select from a range of modules studied on campus or via eLearn.
You’ll explore, develop and enhance your clinical practice, synthesising your professional expertise in relation to other disciplines contributing to community healthcare.

Course delivery
Following the pandemic, we have found that some courses benefit from a blended learning and teaching approach. Therefore, the majority of your teaching will be face-to-face on campus aside from a small amount of online teaching where we have learnt it works best.
Every effort has been made to ensure the accuracy of our published course information. However, our programmes are subject to ongoing review and development. Changing circumstances may cause alteration to, or the cancellation of, courses. Changes may be necessary to comply with the requirements of accrediting bodies or revisions to subject benchmarks statements. As well as to keep courses updated and contemporary, or as a result of student feedback. We reserve the right to make variations if we consider such action to be necessary or in the best interests of students.
The rationale for this course is based around the national agenda identified in The Five Year Forward (NHS England, 2014) and The Shape of Caring (Health Education England, 2015) documents, both of which indicate the shift in healthcare focus to the community setting.
The course also aligns to The Education and Career Framework (Health Education England, 2015).
My name is Kavisha Prince Anthony, and I always had a dream of studying abroad. Thankfully, that dream came to life since I applied to the Study Advisor. I was able to receive my visa within four days. I also had some visa refusals in the past; I had about six UK visa refusals in the past, but thankfully, it was not an issue since the Study Advisor was able to make things work this time. I highly recommend Study Advisor for your dreams of going abroad, whether it be the UK or any other European country there is.
