Course content

Be eligible to apply to register with the Nursing and Midwifery Council as an adult nurse and achieve a Masters degree in just two years, on our MSc Nursing (Adult) course.

This two-year course has been designed for candidates with an undergraduate degree in any subject and healthcare experience*. The course will prepare you to care for adults (of all ages), who are recovering from an accident or acute illness, learning to live with a chronic health condition or at the end of their lives. You’ll also learn how to empower people to make a difference to their own physical and mental health.

The flexible blended learning course delivery model, will help you balance your studies and personal commitments.

This course has been approved against the Nursing and Midwifery Council Standards of Proficiency for Registered Nurses. These standards set out the knowledge and skills you will learn as the next generation of adult nurses, to enable you to deliver high-quality, evidence-based, compassionate care.

You will learn how to:

• provide, lead, and coordinate care that is compassionate, and evidence based
• care for people with complex mental, physical, social, and behavioural needs
• care for people in various healthcare settings
• help promote health, protect health, and prevent ill health
• care for people of different ages, backgrounds, cultures, and beliefs
• care for people at the end of their life
• think critically and apply your knowledge and skills
• be emotionally intelligent and resilient, while managing your personal health and wellbeing.

Blended learning

The majority of the theory element of the course will be delivered online, using a variety of virtual and blended learning strategies. As such it’s important you have access to your own IT equipment (laptop or desktop and reliable internet connection) and have a good level of IT proficiency. You will be fully supported to engage with the learning platforms, via a 1-week IT support package (mandatory), which you will undertake prior to starting the course.

Whilst there is a lot of freedom to undertake the learning at a time that suits your needs, you will be expected to login online, at a set time each week during theory blocks, to engage with synchronous learning with your cohort. You will also be expected to attend campus, to engage in face-to-face simulation and mandatory training, which it is not possible for us to deliver online. The face-to-face theory, simulation and mandatory training and practice placements will equate to a minimum of 24 weeks per year.

Location

This course is delivered at our West London campus, however, it is also offered at our Reading site in Berkshire. As you will spend half your course gaining experience on placement, you should choose a course location that you can travel to easily. Please see the course details below for our London placement partners.
