MSc Adult Nursing (Pre-registration)

Manchester Metropolitan University

Nurses are the professional face of healthcare, the calm voice explaining a procedure.

They are the go to figures providing unwavering support, the ones ensuring patient safety and giving care no matter what the circumstances.

Weve designed our MSc Adult Nursing Pre registration course around the core values of the NHS constitution so that you understand whats required in caring for and supporting vulnerable adults.

The MSc Adult Nursing Pre registration is an accelerated postgraduate course developed for those who have already graduated with an undergraduate degree. Youll gain the experience and skills required to practice as an adult nurse in two years, rather than the traditional three year route.

Our aim is to make sure we prepare you for the challenges you may face and develop the expertise youll need to become a leader in nursing. Youll learn how to assess your patients needs and provide sensitive support, and how to collaborate with colleagues across a range of professions including doctors, physiotherapists and dieticians.

Youll spend half of your time studying in clinical placements or in simulation based learning incorporating a variety of settings, with support from a practice supervisor assessor and academic assessor. This may include an operating theatre, accident and emergency, a community health centre, an intensive care unit, an outpatients department or a nursing home.

When youre on campus youll be based in our award winning Brooks building, equipped with hospital standard, specialist health facilities and simulation technology.

Working in small groups in our clinical simulation suite, youll learn many skills to support the development of your practice. Its here that youll work on simulations of a patients journey from admission to discharge.

All of our teaching team in the School of Nursing are registered nurses, health visitors, advanced practitioners and academics. Many have won awards in their own specialist areas and are recognised and respected in the region and nationally for their contributions.

Our School of Nursing has been recognised in the Student Nursing Times Awards and the Guardian League Tables which celebrate the very best in student nurses and nursing education.
