Course Overview

Why study MSc Nursing with the University of Dundee? The School of Nursing and Midwifery at the University of Dundee has an international reputation for providing flexible programmes designed to offer a student-led approach to postgraduate education. Most programmes are offered on a part-time basis and delivered through high quality online distance learning. A small number of modules are also available for locally based students. Students can choose the generic MSc Nursing award or one of six named awards. These are: MSc Nursing (Leadership, Quality and Governance) MSc Nursing (Infection: Prevention and Control) MSc Nursing (Mental Health) MSc Nursing (Long Term Conditions) MSc Nursing (Older Person) MSc Nursing (Clinical Practice) The programme is delivered by the School of Nursing and Midwifery which is part of the College of Medicine, Dentistry and Nursing. Although this award is only available to registered or licensed nurses, the modules are shared with a wide multidisciplinary student body undertaking the MSc Midwifery, MSc Maternal and Infant Health and the MSc Health Studies. This enhances the student experience and makes the learning more appropriate to real practice environments which are rarely unidisciplinary. What are the aims of this programme? We aim to provide an intellectual environment within which you are committed and challenged to develop the knowledge and skills required to enhance your own health and social care practice as well as to advance practice in your own profession or role. The aim is also to support multidisciplinary collegiality and create a global community of scholars displaying postgraduate attributes of confidence, complexity, creativity, professionalism, autonomy and the articulation of novel perspectives to problem solving. Employability: While almost all of our students are already in professional roles, students who have completed our masters programmes in the past have gone on into management and other promoted posts as well as specialist roles such as hospital at night and clinical governance leads.
