Course content

Develop your specialism as an advanced nursing practitioner in your chosen field whilst enhancing your skills and knowledge. This online MSc allows Registered Veterinary Nurses to combine working in practice with completing a master’s qualification, with opportunities to complete a Postgraduate Certificate across a shorter period of study.

The course is designed to allow specialisation in one of four defined pathways up to Postgraduate Certificate level, before moving into the MSc programme, with the aim of developing and conducting a piece of research in a specialist area of practice. Our award titles have been developed to include a range of specialist areas, drawing upon the expertise of our industry-active academics and encompassing contributions from guest lecturers and researchers.
