Why choose Sheffield for your employees' development?

Flexible study options

Online and part-time course options mean students can fit their studies around clinical schedules, ensuring minimal disruption to service delivery. It also means students can take what they’ve learnt and apply it to their practice in real-time.

Applied knowledge

Our courses are designed to enhance students’ leadership, critical thinking and problem-solving skills, allowing them to make substantial and measurable contributions to your workforce.

Improve staff morale and teamwork

Your staff will build deeper expertise and stronger teamwork by learning collaboratively with other medical and health professionals.

Access world-leading research

Access the University's world-leading research and industry-inspired curriculum to address skills gaps within your organisation. Students effectively act as a bridge between academia and practice, bringing the latest knowledge back to your workplace to upskill colleagues.


Our Sheffield graduates come out very prepared for their clinical work, and I’ve always felt this is because of the strong learning frameworks they’ve developed on the [Advanced Clinical Practice] programme.
