Register your interestThis Master’s degree programme is designed to support Nursing students to develop their career in Nursing. The programme places a particular emphasis on exploring knowledge and skills relevant to nursing in a wide range of clinical settings, and is particularly designed for overseas nurses to develop and enhance their knowledge and skills as a practitioner and their wider understanding of nursing professional/clinical practice in other countries, including the UK.
Through the development of their critical thinking and academic writing it aims to support them using these transferable skills should any internationally trained nurses wish to undertake the independent process to apply for registration in the UK. The modules are also designed to equip each student to engage in the processes of critical self-evaluation and actively engage in life-long learning which are central to effective health care professionals.
*This programme is not approved by the NMC and does not lead to registration with the NMC. It is a postgraduate academic programme for level 1 NMC Registered nurses or Internationally Educated Nurses, who have a licence to practice in their country of qualification as a Qualified Nurse. Please note there is a separate process for overseas nurses to obtain registration from the NMC.
This full-time course spans one year and requires more independent reading and research than an undergraduate degree.
All modules will necessitate research using primary and secondary sources to develop subject knowledge and complete module assessments. Self-directed study is also integrated into all modules to encourage students to take greater responsibility for their learning experience, including reading, class preparation, group activities, revision, and assessment work.
To challenge and engage students, the program team aims to incorporate innovative teaching and learning approaches, such as gamification, online discussion forums, and wiki-based projects.
Additionally, students will learn modules in a simulation facility equipped with an immersive simulation suite, mock wards, a mock house for community simulations, and various simulation mannequins for teaching purposes.
