Accounting and Finance MSc

Study mode: Full Time |

Designed for those with a quantitative background, this programme is both academically rigorous and closely in line with professional practice; it is especially useful for those graduates with work experience in accounting looking to gain essential practical skills in finance and, of course, vice versa; although the core, compulsory courses ensure a good balance between both accounting and finance study, the option courses give students the opportunity to specialise, tailoring their studies towards their chosen career.

Advancing Nursing Practice MSc

Study mode: Full Time |

The programme offers a variety of courses which reflect the key concerns in developing an effective and flexible workforce, who have the ability to embrace and generate new approaches to care; the programme aims, through a process of flexible and open learning, to develop self-directed and reflective nurses who have the potential to be future leaders in advancing nursing; whilst there are some core subjects, the programme is extremely flexible and is tailored to students' requirements; students have the opportunity to set their own learning objectives, so nurses from all specialist and generalist areas of practice can follow their personal and professional needs and interests; central to this is a professional portfolio and innovative forms of assessment; distinctive features of this degree include: Development of a portfolio for professional and personal development; development of opportunities for the synthesis of theory, evidence and practice;
accessibility for all nursing disciplines, including managers, educators and clinicians through the flexibility of student led personal learning plans.
