Overview
This Nursing with Pre-Registration (Adult) programme from The University of Edinburgh enables you to undertake study at masters level whilst providing the theoretical and practice based learning required to achieve the proficiency for registration with the Nursing and Midwifery Council, and therefore practice as a registered Adult nurse.
As a nursing student, you will benefit from being in a research intensive environment where you are taught by staff who are engaged with the contemporary issues in nursing through research and practice. Small cohort sizes bring the benefits of support throughout the programme. You can also get involved in the extensive activities of the wider university, benefiting from the multi-cultural and diverse student population.
The key aims of this programme are to produce graduate nurses who can:
- Evaluate the complex interplay of human characteristics and social structures and their impact on population and individual health outcomes and opportunities, using this knowledge to inform safe, effective nursing care
- Evaluate the dynamic and complex nature of health services and the needs of the communities they serve and demonstrate a commitment to meeting these changing needs.
- Demonstrate the ability to design, undertake and evaluate research for the provision of safe and effective health care.
- Demonstrate leadership skills and attributes, underpinned by strong critical reflection skills, through effective working within interdisciplinary teams to achieve safe and effective patient care.
Career opportunities
The career opportunities are excellent for our graduates who will be entering a workforce with good job availability.
Our graduates, who are graduating with a masters rather than undergraduate level education, have excellent prospects of career progression into the higher levels of clinical and managerial practice within the NHS after a period following qualification in which they consolidate their nursing practice.
Additionally, nursing graduates are able to work in the third sector and a range of other contexts which draw on their skills and knowledge.
The route to PhD, should you wish to access this, will also be open to you, providing further opportunities for career development and progression.
