"entryRequirements": "Academic Qualification:\n\nNormally, applicants will hold a first degree (or equivalent professional qualification) which is recognised in the UK by a professional standards regulating body such as HCPC, NMC or GMC, for example BSc(Hons) Diagnostic Radiography or Diploma of the College of Radiographers (DCR), BSc (Hons) Midwifery.\n\nOther formally certified qualifications:\n\nEquivalent, international academic and/or professional qualifications will be considered on an individual basis.\n\nApplicants are usually required to provide at least one reference evidencing their capability for postgraduate study. This programme of learning is essentially a work based learning programme so applicants joining the programme must be employed in, or have written agreement for, an appropriately supervised clinical placement. The University is not responsible for finding clinical placements for applicants. Entry into the programme will be determined by the suitability of the clinical placement and access to appropriate workload to support student learning.\n\nLevel of English language capability:\n\nIf English is not your first language you will need an IELTS score of 7.0 overall and a minimum of 5.5 in all skills, or a recognised equivalent.\n\nRelevant work or work-related experience:\n\nAll applicants are advised to organise, with their clinical sponsor, some observational experience within the ultrasound department prior to the start of the programme. Prior to commencement of the programme you need to ensure you have access to the ultrasound department for the duration of the programme for a minimum of 14 hours per week undertaking 'hands on' supervised scanning. You and your sponsors are expected to enter into a written agreement to meet the clinical and practical demands of the programme by completing a clinical experience form. It is important that both you and sponsor commit fully to the programme. Students must also commit to one day per week during each semester for academic attendance. You are also expected to undertake private study as specified in each module.\n\nAs soon as your application has been accepted, the programme team encourage you to spend as much time as possible in the ultrasound department. The programme team do not stipulate a specific induction programme for clinical departments but do stress the importance of you having hands-on prior to the start of the programme, and recommend that you spend 1 month (minimum 14 hours per week) in the ultrasound dept. The module leaders send out introductory tasks to new students prior to their first attendance and these include specific tasks about the Ultrasound and associated departments and protocols that they can only find out by spending time in the clinical department.\n\nApplicants will need to be motivated and prepared to study independently and autonomously. They must be prepared to embrace the challenges of Masters level study including online distance learning, have access to a reliable internet connection to support engagement and have sound basic IT skills.\n\nThe programme is intellectually challenging and applicants should be prepared to actively contribute to discussion and debate, critically reflect upon own and others’ practice and; explore and evaluate the evidence base underpinning their ultrasound practice.\n\nPlease see website for further information regarding use of Prior Credit / Recognition of prior learning (RPL)\nhttps://www.shu.ac.uk/courses/Diagnostic-radiography/MSc-Medical-Ultrasound-Practice/Part-time#entry-requirements",
