Postgraduate study is used by some students to support career progression and promotion. For others, it provides an opportunity to explore a different field and change professional direction. Central for all though, is the desire to update their skills and enhance their knowledge. 

As a degree profession nursing sees the added value that research, learning and academic study can have on the patient journey, quality of care and of course a nurse’s personal and professional development.
