De Montfort University Leicester

Programme overview

DMU offers accredited post-registration education and continuous professional development (CPD) aimed at registered nurses, allied health professionals and pharmacists. Provision ranges from standalone undergraduate and postgraduate modules to short courses, study days and master classes, delivered through partnerships with clinicians, local trusts and national frameworks to keep practice current and relevant.

What you'll study

The offer is modular and flexible so you can choose individual modules or assemble part-time programmes to meet your needs. New and existing module topics include Professional Advocate, Supporting End of Life Care, Wound Care and Mental Health Care, alongside other clinically focused modules and CPD activities designed to reflect best clinical practice.

Entry requirements

These programmes are intended for practising, registered healthcare professionals (nurses, allied health professions and pharmacists). Specific entry requirements vary by module or award and by level (undergraduate or postgraduate); applicants should consult the university for module-level prerequisites and registration checks.

Career prospects

Study is designed to help registered practitioners develop professional skills and clinical expertise to enhance the quality of care they provide in acute, primary care and independent healthcare settings. Modules support continuing professional development, compliance with professional standards and readiness for specialist or advanced practice roles within local health services.

Scholarships & funding angle

There are a number of funding support opportunities for both NHS and non-NHS professionals to assist with study costs. Some modules carry professional accreditation (for example NMC and in some cases HCPC), and multiple start dates and flexible delivery are available to fit study around clinical work.
