Nursing is about more than caring for patients. It’s about grasping the importance of policy, exploring clinical leadership and understanding the role of research. Ready to become part of a new generation of adult nurses? Join us to discover what it takes to promote evidence-based care and shape the future of healthcare.
Our students come from a range of backgrounds. Some have a biomedical degree but want a role with more patient contact, while others have studied subjects like psychology.
Your postgraduate degree will open doors to opportunities – in hospitals, GP surgeries and the local community. There is also a growing demand for nurses in other areas, from prisons to the armed forces.
By the time you graduate, you’ll have the skills and confidence to deliver, develop, lead and research healthcare practice. We want to help you become a nurse with the tools to make a difference, whatever path you decide to follow.
The faculty provided exceptional support throughout the MSc, particularly around professional development, and the state-of-the-art facilities at King's made for an outstanding learning environment.
What we teach meets the standards of the Nursing and Midwifery Council, so you are eligible to register when you graduate. Our strong focus on evidence-based care will also help you develop an understanding of the relationship between research and practice.
Half of your time will be spent gaining practical experience on placements. The other half will be learning from our experts to understand theoretical areas, including care delivery, research principles and clinical leadership. Being in London, you’ll be exposed to a diverse population which will put your skills to the test and prepare you for your future.
People of all ages, cultures, and backgrounds join us because nursing at King’s will accelerate their career, whatever their ambitions. We also welcome students with neurodiversity and offer the support they need to make the most of the course, whether this is reasonable adjustments on placement or additional support from the faculty.
