This post graduate education programme is suitable for nurses from all clinical backgrounds, including general hospital, psychiatric and community nursing, education and management. The design of the programme provides opportunities for nurses to undertake education to enhance both personal and professional development. Similar to the RCSI MSc Nursing in Ireland, the programme will be delivered part-time over two years. A student may decide not to proceed to year 2 of the programme and if, successful in all examination requirements in year 1, may exit with a Postgraduate Diploma in Nursing Theory.
