In response to the changing needs of educational provision in healthcare practice and stakeholder consultation, the School of Nursing has developed a postgraduate educational framework for nurses and other healthcare practitioners.
The programme includes modules predominantly focused on practice embedded elements. It is anticipated that students will normally be working in an area related to their intended focus of study, e.g recovery oriented practice, the management of long term illness, community/primary care, intellectual disability & concurrent mental health problems, care of the older person or care of the child and adolescent.
This programme will further develop your analytical skills, and provide an educational framework to deliver optimum care to individuals, families and communities, as well as improving the quality of healthcare practice in the Irish healthcare system.
Aims and Objectives:
* To initiate and lead practice developments in your area.
* To demonstrate clinically effective practice through critical engagement.
* To demonstrate advanced research skills, which enable you to appraise research design and effective practice, and develop the requisite research knowledge and skills to implement best practice.
* To engage in effective intra and inter professional working with healthcare colleagues.
* To advance practice in your profession and designated area through effective leadership and innovation.
* To demonstrate a critical engagement with decision-making frameworks and processes in health and social care contexts.
* For those continuing to M.Sc., it is expected that you will be able to plan, undertake and disseminate an original piece of healthcare practice research.
Contents
The programme, at Level 9 on the National Framework of Qualifications, will allow students to obtain a Masters Degree over a two year period, with the option of exiting after eighteen months with a Graduate Diploma.
The programme incorporates a framework of eight specific awards, as follows:
* M.Sc. in Child and Adolescent Nursing Practice (DC701)
* M.Sc. in Child and Adolescent Health Care Practice (DC707)
* M.Sc. in General Nursing Practice (DC708

This two year, part-time programme allows students to take four core modules, worth 10 credits each. Students also choose from optional modules available through the School of Nursing and, occasionally, options outside DCU. You will attend one day a week, and students complete a core research dissertation module in the final semester, as they try to achieve a maximum of 90 credits. A more flexible four-year period is available. For students exiting with a Graduate Diploma the normal timeframe is eighteen months, over three academic semesters.
Each student has a designated practice supervisor and, for the dissertation, a research supervisor.
