What will I learn?

COURSE OVERVIEW

We understand that real-world experience is crucial to developing your skills and knowledge as a trainee nurse. That's why 50% of your time on our MSc Adult Nursing course will be spent on placement in a variety of clinical environments, including accident and emergency, medical/surgical, older adults, palliative care, and hospice nursing. As well as this, you'll build your confidence and gain a competitive edge by developing practical skills in simulated 'real life' settings, using our dedicated facilities. These include mock wards, simulated home spaces, and our brand-new immersive simulation room. What's more, if you study our MSc in Nursing and are eligible for support from the Student Loans Company, you'll also be eligible to receive an NHS grant of at least £5,000 per year of study, which does not need to be repaid.
