The MSc Nursing programme expands on the knowledge, skills, and experience you already have from your undergraduate nursing degree, allowing you to further improve your critical thinking abilities, use evidence in practice, and gain confidence in conducting research. You'll discover how to grow as a leader in order to facilitate change and continuous development in practice.
Nursing is becoming an increasingly competitive industry, thus a master's degree can help you pursue higher level management, teaching, or clinical employment in medical facilities both in the UK and abroad.
With a solid foundation in health concepts derived from the social and biological sciences, professional studies, and communication skills, you will gain competent disciplinary understanding and expertise of your preferred nursing field of practice (adult or mental health). This is supported by the development of managerial and research skills necessary for practising and managing evidence-based person-centred care as a nurse with a licence. Also, with this master degree you will be able to enhance your professional career while also making a better impact on people's health and well-being and the quality of service users' experiences. This course's material is connected with the four foundations of advanced practice and the multi-professional structure of advanced clinical practice in the United Kingdom.

Fees & funding
Course fee per year: £8,000 The Tuition Fee of the course may vary depending on the institution you wish to study at, as well as your status in the UK. The course is available for UK/EU & International Students and eligible for Student Loans Company (SLC) funding to help cover the cost of your tuition fees and other expenses. If you are an UK/EU citizen or living in the UK on an Indefinite stay, apart from the tuition fees, you could also receive support from the government via Student Loans Company to cover some living costs while studying. The maintenance loan depends on each individual's circumstances.
Fees breakdown:
Tuition fee loans cover the full cost of your course and are paid directly to the course provider.
Student Finance has to be paid back, however, you only make Student Loan repayments once you've left your course AND are earning enough. Repayments vary with your salary, and stop altogether if your income drops too low.
Maintenance Loan pays for day-to-day living expenses like rent, bills, food and books. Unlike the fees loan, it's paid directly to your student bank account once a term and you can spend it on anything you like.
Students can also apply for other types of special support grants, such as childcare grants or Disabled Students' Allowance if eligible.
Moreover, almost all universities offer a selection of student bursaries. These are cash gifts you usually don't have to repay.
