Taking an advanced nursing course is a real investment in your career. This programme has been carefully designed to advance nursing practice and improve patient care.

Overview

A natural progression from your BSc, the MSc Advanced Nursing builds on your skills and specialist knowledge, giving you a deeper understanding and leading to wider career opportunities.

Higher qualifications demonstrate your ambition and aptitude for learning. Many of our MSc students and graduates find they achieve promotion during or soon after their course. In clinical practice, applicants for senior and advanced nursing posts are increasingly expected to possess, or be working towards, masters-level qualifications. A master’s degree is also the entry qualification for a career in nursing education and research.

The programme of study has been carefully designed to improve healthcare practice and, ultimately, patient care. Your assignments will be firmly grounded in the realities you face in the workplace, developing skills and knowledge that will lead to practical benefits for you and your team.

You will join students from diverse clinical backgrounds, including acute and community care settings. Many come from the UK, but also Europe and further afield: all share a common commitment to advancing their careers and the nursing profession. Learning from each other, as much as from experienced teachers, you will develop new friendships that will last long after the course.

Careers

This advanced programme of study is aimed at qualified nurses who already have professional nursing experience in their chosen field. As such, it is a vocationally-orientated course, which aims to put you at the cutting-edge of teaching, research and thinking in terms of contemporary nursing practice.

The course will give you the skills and experience you need to develop your career and to act as a leader and innovator in the field of nursing.

Recent graduates have gone on to work as clinical nurse specialists, advanced nurse practitioners and modern matrons. Our graduates also work in higher education as lecturers and senior academics, lecturer practitioners, researchers and in private practice.
