MA Professional Practice

Carmarthen Campus

This programme offers progression opportunities for learners who have achieved a first degree in Professional Practice or in any other academic discipline. A postgraduate qualification in  Professional Practice combines academic study with workplace  earning to equip people with the relevant knowledge, understanding and skills to improve performance at work. 

How does it work?

Learners will be required to study for a further 60, 120 or 180 credits at masters level depending on their qualification aim. Each learner will work with a Programme Adviser to identify a coherent programme of study and will produce a Work-based Learning Programme  Plan and negotiate a different Work-based Project or  Independent Study at this level. In addition, learners may complete any other modules that are relevant to their work from the University’s postgraduate curriculum offer, and new learners may wish to make a claim for Accreditation of Prior Learning for the Recognition and Accreditation of Learning module.
