Course Description

Taking an advanced nursing course is a real investment in your career. We have excellent links with local NHS trusts and many of our graduates find they achieve promotion during or soon after their course.

Our programme has been carefully designed to advance nursing practice and improve patient care. In clinical practice, applicants for senior and advanced nursing posts are increasingly expected to be working towards masters-level qualifications.

You will join students from diverse clinical backgrounds, including acute and community care settings. Many of our students are from the UK, but also further afield: all share a common commitment to advancing the nursing profession. Learning from each other, as much as from experienced teachers, you will develop new friendships and share practice.
