Registered Nurse (Adult)

Are you thinking about a change of career in nursing? Do you have a passion for the need to respond to global and health challenges? Are you ready to embrace the leadership opportunities essential to influence and manage the increasing complexities in care? As a registered nurse you will embark on a challenging but rewarding career that will open stimulating career opportunities for personal and professional growth.

The Registered Nurse (Adult) MSc programme leads to registration with the Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC). It is a 2-year programme beginning in September 2024 and comprises of 50% theory and 50% practical distribution.

As students you’ll be self-directed learners supported by academics and clinical practice staff to develop your practical and theoretical knowledge in preparation for entry to the Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC) register.

The programme delivers a learner-centred and flexible approach, using blended learning methods that combine face-to-face and online activities including a practical element undertaken in acute and primary health and social care settings.

Inter-professional learning opportunities are integrated into the curriculum involving students from different healthcare disciplines and engagement with service users and carers through simulation and interactive activities.

During the programme, you’ll learn to care for adults with acute / long-term illnesses underpinned by evidence and research-based methodologies essential for health promotion and disease prevention. Some of the clinical practice component will occur within the NHS.

The NHS Values (The NHS values | Health Careers) are shaped by patients and the public and staff have helped develop this expression of values that inspire passion in the NHS and that should underpin everything it does. Individual organisations will develop and build upon these values, tailoring them to their local needs.

The NHS values provide common ground for collaboration and co-operation to achieve shared aspirations, at all levels within the NHS.

As a nursing student, you'll receive at least £5,000 a year which you don't need to pay back. See the UK government website for more information (NHS Learning Support Fund (LSF) | NHSBSA).

Upon graduation, you’ll be eligible to register with the Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC).
