The MSc Nursing (adult or mental health field) has been designed as a two-year taught programme. After application and before starting the course you will need to submit a portfolio of evidence to demonstrate your prior learning. The portfolio provides evidence of prior graduate learning and care experience that demonstrates the knowledge, skills, values and caring behaviours equivalent to year one of an undergraduate nursing programme. The evidence you present in your portfolio will demonstrate how your graduate and experiential learning and skills are equivalent to the development of year 1 nursing proficiencies.

Please note that we will require that you submit 20% of your portfolio prior to interview. If that 20% of the portfolio is of a satisfactory standard, we will call you to interview. Providing you are successful at the interview, you will be asked to complete the remaining sections of the portfolio as a condition of the offer. The full portfolio needs to be completed by June/July. Help and support are available in completing both the 20% and the full portfolio.
