Nursing University of Liverpool

Overview

The Nursing programme from University of Liverpool is a contemporary, vocational programme of postgraduate study that immerses qualified nurses in key issues and ideas relating to the four pillars of professional nursing: communication; leadership; education and research.

Key Features

• Developed in conjunction with the needs of modern professional healthcare organisations, and in collaboration with key stakeholders, the programme aims to nurture innovative professional practice.
• The programme offers students the opportunity to compare and contrast the professional environment of the UK National Health Service with service organisations and delivery in other countries, providing them with a valuable global perspective on healthcare.
• You’ll also receive training in leadership and management skills for advanced clinical practitioners and receive expert insights into how to manage complex care needs.
• The programme is led by a small team of experienced and dedicated nursing staff who form part of a larger team of healthcare experts in the School of Allied Health Professions and Nursing. Our interactive, small-group teaching sessions are designed to enhance your transferable skills, from critical thinking and problem-solving, to communication, leadership and teamwork.
• The programme is suitable for nurses who already hold a professional nursing qualification which confers eligibility to practice in the country of training.

Career prospects

The programme enables registered nurses to extend the scope of their skills and knowledge into new areas. You’ll graduate well placed to apply for promotion or to extend the professional roles and responsibilities in your current position.

Key transferable skills, including practice development, research-led practice and professional leadership, will open up exciting career opportunities and help meet the demand for senior nurses and managers in the NHS and other providers.

The MSc Nursing provides a strong foundation for registered nurses to enhance their career development. It’s particularly suitable if you’re a UK or international nurse seeking to pursue:

• A senior nursing role in a specialist practice area
• A nursing leadership or management position
• A career as a nurse educator
• A career as a nurse researcher, for example working as a research assistant on commissioned research projects.
