Applying for postgraduate modules

SFPs will be funded to undertake up to 3 modules (60 CATS) during their SFP post. Modules should be selected from any of our 3 main MSc programmes and may result in a PGCert if selected modules align to a specific course as indicated on the course pages.

Year 1 (SFP1)

• You should apply for MSc modules in your first year, to take place in your second year

• If you are an international SFP, the university will provide a bursary to cover additional international MSc costs.

Year 2 (SFP2)

• You will have a dedicated academic block in Year 2.
• If you are on a supernumerary rotation (where you are not essential for staffing), you may request to be released from clinical duties to attend a module.
• If a module takes place during your academic block, you should be released to attend.
