Master of Physician Associate Studies

Program Overview

Train to become a fully qualified physician associate with our MPAS Physician Associate Studies programme.

Gain the skills and knowledge to become a physician associate: a healthcare professional trained in the medical model, being developed across the NHS.

As a member of a medical team, you'll work under the supervision of doctors in hospitals and GP practices, supporting the diagnosis and treatment of patients.

Taught by experts from the School of Chemistry, Food and Pharmacy and the School of Biological Sciences, this course offers:

  • industry-specific training. Designed in partnership with our local NHS partners to respond to career needs within the NHS, our course offers you the most relevant, practical content.
  • teaching from medical experts. You will be taught by NHS staff and academics whose research prevents disease, improves diagnoses, develops new therapies and advances clinical practice. Everyone who teaches you has on-the-ground experience.
  • clinical placements. Take part in placements within both primary and secondary healthcare settings throughout your degree.

Learning structure of the MPAS Physician Associate Studies

The first two years will equip you with a strong biological science base, and the ability to apply this learning to inform medical practice. These two years align with our BSc Medical Science degree.

Alongside your scientific learning, you will also acquire:

  • one-day placements in different healthcare environments
  • professional skills training, including reflective practice and communication
  • knowledge of public health and nutrition, with reference to patient care and clinical practice.

During the final two years of the programme, your learning will mirror our established MSc Physician Associate Studies.
