Taking your studies to the next level with advanced practice is about more than earning a postgraduate qualification – it’s about gaining the experience, confidence and industry insight to stand out in your career.
What is advanced practice?
Advanced practice is an extended master’s route that combines academic study with real-world experience. Alongside your taught modules, you’ll complete a work-related project or placement, applying what you’ve learned in a professional context.
It’s a chance to deepen your knowledge, tackle real challenges, and develop the skills employers value most – all while building a strong professional network.
At Teesside University, advanced practice gives you the edge. You’ll work on live projects, collaborate with employers, and gain hands-on experience that helps you bridge the gap between study and work. Our advanced practice options are designed with industry to meet real-world needs – whether that’s advancing technology, shaping business strategy, improving health outcomes or leading creative innovation.
