Nursing

The MSc Nursing is for qualified nurses who wish to develop higher levels of criticality in research, practice, and leadership. This course is a challenging postgraduate qualification for nurses, midwives or health visitors from all fields of practice. You will build upon your existing knowledge, skills and values with an emphasis on developing your practice in the key areas of communication, health promotion, leadership, person-centred practice, and research. Enhancing your knowledge, understanding and critical thinking through classroom and personal study, the programme encourages qualified nurses, midwives and heath visitors from all fields of practice to develop high levels of reflection, decision making and criticality in nursing theory and research.

Applicants will be qualified nurses who are licensed/registered in their home country, and who typically hold a degree or equivalent. This is particularly useful for nurses who wish to develop their careers and strive for promotion, particularly those aspiring to higher roles in research, leadership and education. There are various pathways which can be undertaken within MSc Nursing, including dementia, leadership, nursing assessment, palliative care and education.

Note: Some modules may be delivered at the Jordanstown campus.
