Employability

After you graduate, you’ll be eligible to register as an adult nurse and a mental health nurse with the Nursing and Midwifery Council.

King’s nursing graduates are sought after by employers. They’re known for being highly knowledgeable and capable of tackling the complex challenges of modern healthcare.

Many of our graduates go straight into work at top London hospitals after they graduate. Others choose positions elsewhere in the UK or abroad. A graduate of the MNurs won the Nursing Times Award 2024 Student Nurse of the Year for Clinical Research Award.

With the skills you’ll gain from the course, you could work in hospital and community settings, prisons, clinical research, teaching and management, and integrated roles across adult and mental health nursing.

Some of our partner trusts offer an 18-month newly qualified nurse preceptorship programme made up of three six-month placements in both adult and mental health settings. It’s a great way to consolidate your learning and try out specialisms you might like to explore.
