MSc MRes PGDip Advanced Veterinary Nursing

  • DeadlineStudy Details: PgD 2 years (part time) MSc/MRes 3 years (part time)

Masters Degree Description

The Postgraduate Diploma (PgD) allows students to develop research-based enquiry skills such that analysis and resolution of complex problems arising in practice can be addressed to an advanced level.

The Master of Science (MSc) provides an opportunity for students to undertake research in a subject area of particular interest to them, or their practice, in order to increase the body of knowledge in that area and refine the understanding of that topic area with which other members of the veterinary profession can engage.

The Master of Research (MRes) will allow veterinary nurses to develop more of a researched-focused pathway, which will also be a benefit to the wider profession. Harper Adams is the only university to provide an MRes in Advanced Veterinary Nursing.

You will plan, conduct, and write up a programme of original research in a professionally relevant subject area, synthesise new veterinary nursing strategies and validate established practices to further improve animal health and patient care. Students defend their research by viva voce and disseminate to a wider audience.

Entry Requirements

You must have completed one of the Postgraduate Certificates (PgC) in an Advanced Veterinary Nursing specialism to progress onto the Postgraduate Diploma (PgD).
