Course description
This M.Sc. in Cancer Care Nursing has been developed, in partnership with St Luke's Hospital, to meet the new demands and challenges within the health care system and specifically within cancer care. The programme is firmly grounded in a body of knowledge and clinical expertise that aims to promote excellence in the area of cancer care practice in nursing. It is also designed to provide academically robust education for the participants and the various modules offered develop and complement subjects undertaken at degree or equivalent level.


The programme comprises both academic and clinical components. Students undertake six modules and a dissertation (20,000 - 22,000 words). The modules are: Theory and Practice of Research Methods for Healthcare, Theoretical Foundations of Nursing and Oncology Nursing, Foundations in cancer care, Psychosocial Issues in Oncology Care, Cancer Care 1: control and management of treatment side-effects, Cancer Care 2: control and management of treatment side-effects and Dissertation.

Students attend the university for 30 days over the course of the 1st year. This attendance is mainly day release, with one full week in January and a limited number of 2 consecutive day attendances. Attendance in the second year is approximately 10 days. Students will also work in a designated Cancer Care setting for a minimum of 22 weeks (825 hours) each year based on a 37.5 hour week. In year 1, within this 22 week period, the students undertake two professional practice placements. These placements may be carried out in the students own place of work depending on the specialty practice area.
In year 2, further consolidation of clinical practice will be assessed through further development of their clinical portfolio. A designated clinical supervisor/facilitator will be allocated to each student to facilitate clinical practice development. Further clinical placements are optional and will depend on students' particular requests.
