In December 2024, the University of Bolton was granted permission by the Office for Students (OfS) to change its name to the University of Greater Manchester with immediate effect. While we work to update our systems, you may see both names used in the information we provide. Are you a graduate with a wealth of care-related experience and the passion and drive for a career in nursing? Offered in partnership with local NHS Foundation Trusts, the University of Greater Manchester’s NMC-approved MSc Nursing (Adult) (Pre-registration) degree supports you in developing the experience and skills needed to join this demanding yet rewarding career.

This two-year postgraduate course is open to graduates of all subject areas and is ideal if you have significant care-related work experience and a strong desire to make a difference in people's health and wellbeing.

On successfully completing the nursing qualification, you'll possess the knowledge and skills you need to perform as an independent, highly competent, compassionate nurse who can be trusted to maintain professional standards and protect the public.
