Why study with us?

The PgD Practice Development aims to provide a stimulating and challenging academic and scholarly environment for learners who wish to advance their academic and professional development beyond undergraduate level, through gaining mastery of complex and specialised knowledge and a critical awareness of issues at the forefront of their field of practice. The programme incorporates a variety of negotiated and work based modules which have been explicitly designed to meet the needs of learners working in a wide range of practice situations.

A particular feature of the Practice Development Framework is the opportunity it provides for students to define their own pathway title for their target award, further enabling the award to reflect individual and employer choice. Students taking this option will be required to complete a proposal form, indicating the proposed title and providing evidence that at least 60% of the credit for the award is specifically focussed upon the indicated subject area.

Admission criteria are per the University Admissions Policy. Normally applicants will be required to hold an Honours degree classification 2ii or above in a cognate subject. In applicants who do not meet this requirement non-standard entry criteria will apply. In such cases applicants will be interviewed. This decision will be at the discretion of the programme leader. It is expected that such candidates will have evidence of successful study at level 6 (or equivalent) within the preceding 5 years.

Applications will be reviewed on an individual basis and potential students will be offered advice by an academic tutor on the suitability of the award and their module choice within the award, dependent on factors such as currency of prior learning, and their personal and professional development needs.
