MSc Nursing

Queen Margaret University, Edinburgh

The MSc Nursing programme will provide a distinctive specialism for students from a range of national and international settings to follow a series of online and asynchronous modules, culminating in a research project. It provides alternative master's provision to the existing QMU programmes within the Division of Nursing and Paramedic Science. As with the other postgraduate and post-registration provision in the Division of Nursing and Paramedic Science, at its core is a focus on person-centredness and person-centred practice. Rooted in the international health and wellbeing landscape the concept of person-centredness is a key concept in policy, frameworks and strategic plans, aimed at humanising health and social care experiences. The programme is ideal for an international field of professionally registered nurses working for health institutions from a range of health and wellbeing settings who are seeking to broaden their understanding of their role as registered nurses, learning in different contexts, and conducting master's-level study and research in their specific area of practice. In studying this programme, you will be key to the lead for societal change through your professional practice which will be deepened and developed through the engagement with your course material and wider postgraduate community of practice.
