What Will I Study?

Nursing/Midwifery/Healthcare (MSc, PgDip, PgCert)

The postgraduate programme is designed to meet the needs and interests of nurses, midwives and other allied health professionals from a wide range of professional settings and as such it is flexible in both content and structure. This enables students to choose an individually tailored programme of study and offers them an exciting and unique opportunity both to acquire a postgraduate qualification and to study with colleagues from their own and allied professional groups. For those who proceed to the full MSc, it provides an introductory experience in research.

The MSc in Nursing/Midwifery/Healthcare is based on a common set of courses, three of which are core courses, and a choice of elective courses.

Students who do not choose to do a full MSc programme can exit with a PgCert after 60 course credits or with a PgDip after 120 course credits. All courses can also be taken as single modules for transferable credit.

The Nursing and Midwifery programmes are also available in combination with International Health, Health Economics, and Human Nutrition. Students may also take courses from Education, Population Health, Cultural History, Religion and Society, and Comparative Literature and Thought.

Students can undertake the programme on either a full-time or part-time basis. Course modules within the Nursing/Midwifery/Health Care programme usually require attendance in the late afternoon, one afternoon per week over 12 weeks for each course. Courses from other programmes (eg, Population Health and Education) run according to the requirements of those programmes.

Please note the programme is unable to offer clinical placements.
