Course content
The MSc in Nursing is an accelerated nursing course leading to registration as an adult or mental health nurse.
Nursing is a rewarding and challenging career that can offer you a wealth of opportunities once you have qualified. As an autonomous registered nurse, in either the Adult or Mental Health field of practise, you will have the opportunity to work alongside people experiencing changes to their health and wellbeing.
On successful completion of the programme, you will be eligible to register your qualification with the NMC and practise as a registered nurse within your chosen field.
Why study MSc Nursing?
If you already have a Bachelor’s degree with Honours from any field of academic study, you can qualify as a nurse in two years on our MSc course instead of three years on a BSc Nursing degree.
If you are unsure which field of nursing practice (Adult or Mental Health) is right for you, on our course you can change your chosen field at the end of the first semester.
