Course summary
At King’s, we know our physical and mental health are completely interlinked. We developed this intensive Master’s programme to train a new generation of nurses that understand the complex relationship between these previously distinct disciplines. Join us to study both adult and mental health nursing in just two years. After you graduate, you’ll be able to register with the NMC in both fields. The Master of Nursing (MNurs) is a fully accredited master’s qualification. It’s just like an MSc, MA or MBA, but specifically for nurses. You’ll gain a wide range of experience, perfect if you haven’t decided on a specialism or if you want a broad knowledge base to take a holistic view of patient health. You’ll develop your confidence, ready to take on leadership roles if you want to make even more of a difference in our healthcare system. And you’ll gain a wealth of knowledge, essential if you want to aim for an advanced or specialist practitioner role. You don’t need a science or medical degree to study this course. Instead, we’re looking for motivated students who want to fast-track their journey to a rewarding and impactful career. If that sounds like you, we can’t wait for you to join our friendly community at the most respected nursing faculty in the world. Key benefits
