Course Description

Our four year dual field course offers the opportunity for students to be recognised in two of the three fields of nursing we offer while achieving an undergraduate master’s degree.

As well as preparing students for a clinical role, in a range of healthcare settings nationally or internationally, the course is an excellent choice for those considering a career in research and nurse education, that is to say, it is a challenging option for those looking for a fast tracked career.

The MNurs course is an integrated masters programme with the BSc (Hons) Nursing course.

  • Ignite your passion for life-long learning with our evidence-informed modules on a course designed to meet a diverse range of nursing career pathways.
  • Experience nursing practice in a variety of clinical settings whilst learning collaboratively within dynamic healthcare teams.
  • Enhance and develop your nursing skills in the safe environment of the clinical skills simulation ward, under the supervision of nurse lecturers and clinical demonstrators.
  • Train and practice your professional healthcare skills in an inspiring purpose-built environment, InterCity Place.

* Learn from experienced doctors and professors in their field

In addition a key feature of the MNurs course will be the dedicated master’s level seminar and tutorial support time that students will experience which is built around critical reflexivity (thinking deeply about the impact of our assumptions, values, and actions on others). The course cumulates in a 40 credit systematic review module that prepares students to perform as a capable and autonomous practitioner, fit for registration in two fields of nursing practice.

Recognised by the Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC) for the purpose of registration as a qualified nurse (child).
