Our MSc programmes are your entry route through to registration with the Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC), in one of four pathways – Adult Health Nursing, Child Health Nursing, Mental Health Nursing or Midwifery. Graduates in any discipline with recent health care experience can apply for one of our two-year Nursing programmes, or three-year Midwifery programme. Studying in the South West, practice placements are in a variety of settings throughout, both within hospitals and the community.
On completion you will progress on to a rewarding career and work in a range of healthcare settings nationally or internationally. Once you know a career in Nursing or Midwifery is for you, and you are ready for advanced level study, then join us on this tailor-made programme which is designed to recognise the skills that graduates already have and build on these.
The government is issuing nursing and midwifery students on courses from 2020 a payment of at least £5,000 a year, which they will not have to pay back. A further £3,000 of funding a year is available for eligible students.
Within the School of Nursing and Midwifery, we are committed to shaping our students into the best health professionals they can be. Our state-of-the-art facilities and equipment, both in our Nancy Astor building and the brand-new InterCity Place, will help students maximise their potential and develop their core skills.
