As this programme is designed for qualified practitioners there is no requirement for a clinical placement component. Neither the programme nor any of its pathways lead to eligibility to apply for registration with a regulatory body.
Unfortunately, we are unable to accept applications from non-EU overseas students for this programme as it does not comply with the current Tier 4 visa requirements.
