Masters in Professional Practice (MProf)

The innovative MProf is designed to meet the evolving needs of professionals. It offers personalised, accelerated, and impactful development that integrates with existing commitments across a wide range of fields and sectors.

The MProf empowers you to craft a bespoke postgraduate programme of study tailored to your unique professional and personal development goals. You'll have the flexibility to select modules from across UWS's extensive portfolio, allowing you to focus on areas most relevant to your own aspirations and interests.

The MProf can be studied online or at any of our campuses, and takes one and a half years full-time or two to three years part-time to complete.
