This Specialist Community Public Health Visiting MSc course offers students with a Postgraduate Diploma in Specialist Community Public Health Nursing the opportunity to ‘top-up’ their postgraduate diploma by completing a 60-credit dissertation to achieve a full Master of Science award.
This course is for students who want to top-up their postgraduate diploma into a full Masters degree. There is only one module – a dissertation worth 60-credits.
The course is designed to extend the knowledge you gained in your professional award by allowing you to complete a Masters dissertation relevant to your field of specialist community public health nursing practice. You are allocated a supervisor for the duration of the module and will receive individual research supervision to complete your dissertation project.
These pathways are designed to furnish qualified nurses with the evidence to demonstrate eligibility to register their specialist practitioner status with the Nursing & Midwifery Council (NMC). They may also suit registered practitioners who are supporting autonomous practice, supporting educational and practice development or exercising clinical leadership and who seek further educational opportunities to further this.
