"summary": "Embark on the rewarding career pathway for Healthcare Scientists, accredited by the National School of Healthcare Science. The scheme aims to provide an appropriately trained workforce to work in the NHS through clinical science training.\n\nThe Clinical Science (Neurosensory Sciences) MSc is a dynamic work-based learning course where students are employed within an NHS Department and undertake academic study. You will immerse yourself in clinical science training, preparing you for impactful roles in Audiology, Neurophysiology, or Ophthalmic and Vision Sciences within the NHS. With a blend of shared and specialised learning, you'll excel through practical experience and academic study. This is a 3 year part-time commissioned course accredited by the National School of Healthcare Science.\n\nYou will be taught via a blended learning approach, where you will have online materials hosted on our virtual learning environment (Blackboard), as well as scheduled seminars and workshops to complement your learning. You’ll be provided with a module plan with assessments aligned to the module learning outcomes. These are designed to develop your skills per year as well as having the opportunity to carry out a research project. \n\nThe programme encompasses a comprehensive clinical science training component, aimed at preparing a well-qualified workforce for the NHS. This training focuses on enhancing the knowledge and skills of practitioners in the field of neurosensory science.\n\nDedicated support systems are in place from across the University, and this course benefits from a guest lecture series. Your scheduled time on campus provides you with the opportunity to discuss learning, participate in group activities, and skills laboratory sessions and meet with project supervisors. ",
