About Postgraduate Nursing

Nursing is an essential part of modern medicine, providing the care and attention that all of us may need at some point in our lives. The four main types of Nursing degrees include adult, children, learning disabilities and mental health.

A postgraduate Nursing degree will allow you to specialise within one of these fields or help you move into teaching and research. You’ll usually need an undergraduate Nursing degree as a minimum entry requirement or have qualified to be a nurse via an alternatively route such as a degree apprenticeship. Alternatively, you might have a related degree such as Medicine, Midwifery or Social Care.

There are over 700 nursing postgraduate programmes to choose from including Master’s, postgraduate certificates and postgraduate diplomas. Some unis also offer PhDs.

What to expect

With such a wide variety of courses and specialist areas, specific postgraduate modules will vary enormously. In general terms, a postgraduate qualification will expand your knowledge in your chosen area and help develop practitioner and research skills.

It’s essential to ensure the course you’re interested in is approved by the Nursing and Midwifery Council, (NMC). You may be given the option to study full time, part time or online.

Due to the vocational nature of these postgraduate courses, most graduates use their qualification to progress their career in Nursing. Alternatively, you might use it to go into a related field such as counselling or social work.
