OVERVIEW
Nurses are the professional face of healthcare, the calm voice explaining a procedure.
They are the go-to figures providing unwavering support, the ones ensuring patient safety and giving care no matter what the circumstances.
We鈥檝e designed our MSc Adult Nursing (Pre-registration) course around the core values of the NHS constitution so that you understand what鈥檚 required in caring for and supporting vulnerable adults.
The MSc Adult Nursing (Pre-registration) is an accelerated postgraduate course developed for those who have already graduated with an undergraduate degree. You'll gain the experience and skills required to practice as an adult nurse in two years, rather than the traditional three-year route.
Our aim is to make sure we prepare you for the challenges you may face and develop the expertise you鈥檒l need to become a leader in nursing. You鈥檒l learn how to assess your patient鈥檚 needs and provide sensitive support, and how to collaborate with colleagues across a range of professions (including doctors, physiotherapists and dieticians).
You鈥檒l spend half of your time studying in clinical placements or in simulation based learning incorporating a variety of settings, with support from a practice supervisor/assessor or academic throughout. This may include an operating theatre, accident and emergency, a community health centre, an intensive care unit, an outpatients department or a nursing home.
When you're on campus you'll be based in our award-winning Brooks building, equipped with hospital-standard, specialist health facilities and simulation technology.
Working in small groups in our clinical simulation suite, you鈥檒l learn many skills to support the development of your practice. It鈥檚 here that you鈥檒l work on simulations of a patient鈥檚 journey from admission to discharge.
All of our teaching team in the Department of Nursing are registered nurses, health visitors, advanced practitioners and academics. Many have won awards in their own specialist areas and are recognised and respected in the region and nationally for their contributions.
Our Nursing department has been recognised in the Student Nursing Times Awards and the Guardian League Tables which celebrate the very best in student nurses and nursing education.
To fund your postgraduate pre-registration nursing degree, you'll be able to access standard student loans in line with undergraduate funding for pre-registration courses.
