Course summary
Nursing is about more than caring for patients. It’s about grasping the importance of policy, exploring clinical leadership and understanding the role of research. Ready to become part of a new generation of adult nurses? Join us to discover what it takes to promote evidence-based care and shape the future of healthcare. Our students come from a range of backgrounds. Some have a biomedical degree but want a role with more patient contact, while others have studied subjects like psychology. Your postgraduate degree will open doors to opportunities – in hospitals, GP surgeries and the local community. There is also a growing demand for nurses in other areas, from prisons to the armed forces. By the time you graduate, you’ll have the skills and confidence to deliver, develop, lead and research healthcare practice. We want to help you become a nurse with the tools to make a difference, whatever path you decide to follow. Key benefits
