– Get your manager or senior clinical colleague to verify the CV and support your application.
If you would like to access a Masters degree but don’t currently hold the required academic entry qualification (Bachelors degree 2:2 or higher), an experienced practitioner route is also open to you. In this instance you will need to be educated to a minimum of diploma level, and have some evidence of successful degree (level 6) study, which includes insight into evidence based practice or research. You will also need to be an experienced healthcare practitioner. For further information please contact the programme lead for the Masters degree you wish to study.
Induction days
Induction days are an important part of your experience as a student when you register on a programme or module and it is essential that you attend. You will be given help in using the University’s computer network and learning about electronic learning resources. You will ‘log on’ to the system and set up your own personal email account. Further details about this will be supplied when you register on a programme.
E-learning, web-based and web-supported learning
E-learning is embedded within the Faculty learning and teaching strategy as part of its intent to provide more flexible access to modules and support for learning. Some modules are offered online, combining attendance in the classroom with e-learning so that you gain the most benefit from both of these approaches to learning.
Students with specific learning differences
If you are considering further study and have a recognised learning difference such as dyslexia, you will need to be aware of the specialist support available to you, in addition to that provided by your module leader. The majority of this is from the Dyslexia Services Staff. They are the experts in dyslexia and can work with you, on a one-to-one basis to help you to develop strategies to maximise your learning and help overcome any difficulties you may have. This can be through face to face meetings or online, whichever is easier for you. Even if you feel that you have previously developed successful coping strategies, we would suggest that you make contact with them as the demands of higher level studies may create different challenges. When you commence your studies we ask that you make an appointment to see them ideally within the first month, they will then review your Educational Psychologists report with you and make specific recommendations to the School for any specific support you require. Once you have registered with Dyslexia Services you will also be able to access the Assistive Technology computers available on all of our main teaching sites. These allow access to a variety of software packages which may be helpful during your studies. The Dyslexia Services can be contacted on 023 8059 2759

This prospectus provides an overview of the University and life at Southampton, along with information about all the post qualifying and post graduate programmes available at the time of publication. Relevant web links are shown throughout the prospectus. Please also consult the programme information online for any further details and/ or any changes that have appeared since first publication of the prospectus.
Terms of use
The University of Southampton will use all reasonable efforts to deliver advertised programmes and other services and facilities in accordance with the descriptions set out in the prospectus, student handbooks, welcome guides and website. It will provide students with the tuition and learning support and other services and facilities so described with reasonable care and skill.
The University undertakes a continuous review of its programmes, services and facilities to ensure quality enhancement. The University is also largely funded through public and charitable means and is required to manage these funds in an efficient and cost-effective way for the benefit of the whole University community.
The University, therefore, reserves the right if it considers it to be necessary:
– To alter the timetable, location, number of classes, content or method of delivery of programmes of study and/or examination processes, provided such alterations are reasonable
– To make reasonable variations to the content and syllabus of programmes of study (including in relation to placements) – To suspend or discontinue programmes of study (for example,
because a key member of staff is unwell or leaves the University) – To make changes to its statutes, ordinances, regulations, policies
and procedures which the University reasonably considers necessary (for example, in the light of changes in the law or the requirements of the University’s regulators). Such changes if significant will normally come into force at the beginning of the following academic year or, if fundamental to the programme, will normally come into force with effect from the next cohort of students
– To discontinue programmes of study or to combine or merge them with others (for example, because too few students apply to join the programme for it to be viable)
1. Change or discontinuance of programmes
If the University discontinues or combines a programme of study or changes significantly:
A. In the event that the University has not made an offer of a place or before the applicant has accepted the offer:
(i) The University will inform applicants at the earliest possible of the discontinuation or change.
(ii) An applicant will be entitled to withdraw his or her application by informing the University in writing within a reasonable time of being told of the discontinuation or change, failing which the University will withdraw its offer of a place.
B. In the event that an offer has been accepted but prior to the student enrolling, the student may either:
(i) Withdraw from the University and be given an appropriate refund of tuition fees and deposits, or
(ii) Transfer to another available programme (if any) as may be offered by the University for which the student is qualified. If in these circumstances the student wishes to withdraw from the University and to apply for a programme at a different university, the University shall use its reasonable endeavours to assist the student.
C. In the event that a student has enrolled, the University will use reasonable endeavours to teach the programme out but cannot guarantee to do so. If the University cannot teach out a programme of study, it will use its reasonable endeavours to facilitate the transfer of a student to an equivalent programme for which the student is qualified and which has places available within the University or at a different university.
2. Changes to services or facilities
The University will make available to students such learning support and other service and facilities it considers appropriate, but may vary what it provides from time to time (for example, the University may consider it desirable to change the way it provides library or IT support).
3. Financial or other losses
The University will not be held liable for any direct or indirect financial or other losses or damage arising from such
discontinuations, changes to or mergers of any programme of study, service or facility. Upton acceptance by an applicant of an offer of a place at the University, the relationship between the applicant and the University becomes contractual. In entering into that contract, neither the student not the University intends that any of the terms of contract will be enforceable by virtue of the Contracts (Rights of Third Parties) Act 1999 by any person not a party to it.
Force Majeure
The University will not be held liable for any loss, damage or expense resulting from any delay, variation or failure in the provision of programmes of study, services or facilities arising from circumstances beyond the University’s reasonable control, including (but not limited to) war or threat of riot, civil strife, terrorist activity, industrial dispute, natural or nuclear disaster, adverse weather conditions, interruption in power supplies or other services for any reason, fire, boycott or telecommunications failure.
In the event that such circumstances beyond the reasonable control of the University arise, it will use all reasonable endeavours to minimise disruption as far as it is practical to do so provided that such endeavours do not undermine the University’s Quality Assurance requirements.
