Programme Description
This course, which incorporates a Specialist Practitioner Qualification is offered in collaboration with NHS Lothian. Embedded within this course is the Postgraduate Certificate in Teaching and Learning in Higher Education.
On completion of the course students are eligible to record their teaching qualification with the NMC. The award is also recognised and accredited by Higher Education Academy (HEA) and the Staff and Education Development Association (SEDA).
The aims of the course include:
1) to provide students with the necessary advanced level of knowledge to enable them to have a broader, deeper and a more critical appreciation of nursing;
2) to equip students with the ability to solve a range of complex problems in nursing in an analytical, inquiring, creative and self-critical manner;
3) to enable students to synthesise the knowledge, skills and values necessary to become innovators, leaders, educators and consultants of the profession.
The course is modular based and has been developed with intermediate exit points at Post-Graduate Certificate and Post-Graduate Diploma.

Applicants wishing to undertake the educational component must be employed in a teaching, training or lecturing role and are required to identify an appropriate person from their work area to act as a mentor during the period of studying the education modules.
Applicants who do not have the academic requirements may gain entry to the course by studying one of the modules as a stand alone module.

The stand alone module will count towards the final degree.
English Language Requirements
If English is not your first language, you´ll need to provide evidence that you can read, write, speak and understand English satisfactorily. For most courses, in additional to satisfying the standard entry requirements, we normally require international students (check) to demonstrate their English ability through an English language test, usually IELTS (International English Language Testing System), or TOEFL (Test of English as a Foreign Language).
