This new master's degree course in Adult Nursing will allow individuals who already have a relevant bachelor’s degree to undertake a course leading to registration with the Nursing and Midwifery Council.
Adult Nursing is an exciting and rewarding career, in which you can make a real and positive contribution to people who are facing some of the most challenging experiences of their lives.
