PG Cert Neurodevelopmental Conditions

... United Kingdom
... University of Chester

Course Overview

This course will largely appeal to those working in clinical health and social care settings. It will enhance their professional portfolio towards senior posts; whilst at the same time may be undertaken by staff in senior positions that do not have higher qualifications.

This course may be undertaken by other registered professionals, which could include doctors and nurses for example. Students must work with persons with intellectual conditions/ issues relevant to this specialty. We anticipate that the majority of students on this course will be NHS staff, but did not want to exclude other health professionals in the UK.

Health professionals need to continually seek ways to improve their career prospects in an increasingly competitive job market where a postgraduate qualification is often now deemed essential.

The course provides a highly relevant specialist mental health qualification, adding to a portfolio of qualifications that are now requisite for senior mental health positions.

We are here to help you plan your future, make the most of your time at University, and to enhance your employability. We provide access to part-time jobs, and extra-curricular employability-enhancing workshops and offer practical one-to-one help with career planning, including help with CVs, applications, and mock interviews. We also deliver group sessions on career planning within each course and we have a wide range of extensive information covering graduate jobs and postgraduate study.

Students and graduates of the University of Chester can use our services free of charge for up to two years after graduating.

General Eligibility

All home and international student applicants will be interviewed by the course team to ensure they meet the admission criteria. The primary purpose of the interview is a two-way process to make sure the course meets your educational and clinical career plans. Students should primarily be working in a mental health setting, have a minimum 2.2-degree classification in a health-related subject (or equivalent), and must be recognized/registered health or allied health care professional. We accept that you may not have studied for some time or may not have a degree, contact Professors Steve Jones or Sujeet Jaydeoakar to explore other options for admission to the PGCert.
