Master of Nursing (MNurse)

As a nurse, you will be at the forefront of healthcare, meeting a broad range of people who truly need your expertise and empathy. Nurses are involved in promoting health and preventing illness in addition to caring for sick and dying people. This can take place in a variety of environments, which include health centres, homes, residentialcare homes and hospitals. A career in nursing can take you into leadership and management, education and research, both at home and overseas. Wherever you choose to specialise in the future, as a nurse you will be an advocate for the people in your care. You will make a difference. The course content is aligned to the Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC) Standards for Future Nurse Education and is underpinned by person-centred and humanistic values. The programme is focused into four key themes which are: Applied Biosciences for Nursing Practice, The Theories and Art of Nursing, and Active Learning. These themes are developed across the four years of the programme. On completion of this course you will be able to register with the NMC and practise as a nurse. On this course you will: become confident to deliver safe, effective and person-centred nursing care; become part of a community of learners, working collaboratively with lecturers, clinical staff, service users and other students on a transformational journey towards registration; actively engage in creative and critical ways of working and learning including approaches such as critical inquiry, reflection, contemplation, simulation and practice learning experiences; and carry out invaluable practice learning experiences (PLEs) that will enrich your learning.
