What will I learn?

Nurses play a critical role in society. They help people to achieve, maintain or regain independence and the best possible health, and at other times they provide comfort, support and dignity. This course will give you the knowledge, skills and professional values to work as an effective and compassionate nurse. During each semester, you’ll complete a clinical placement, which ensures you’ll meet the Nursing and Midwifery Board of Ireland (NMBI) requirements. Our health service provider partners – Beaumont Hospital and Connolly Hospital – offer diverse clinical settings, giving you a broad range of clinical learning opportunities. Once you complete this internationally recognised degree, you can register as a nurse with the NMBI and work in Ireland or overseas. You’ll be qualified for roles in acute hospital settings, in the community, schools, general practice, occupational health, and traditional hospitals and care facilities. Qualified nurses are sought after internationally, so graduates can always work and travel abroad. You could also opt to pursue a career in clinical management, education or research.
