Nursing (post-registration)
Post-registration courses for nurses
As nursing diploma courses will be phased out between September 2011 and early 2013, soon the demand for nurses with a degree will be greater and career progression opportunities will be more competitive.
The post-registration courses for nurses provide a stepping stone from diploma level to first degree level or from first degree level to Master’s degree level.
Undergraduate courses
Postgraduate courses
- Contemporary Nursing (MSc)
- Master of Midwifery (Masters)
- Specialist Community Nursing (MSc)
- Specialist Community Public Health Nursing (MSc)
If you are a qualified nurse or other health professional looking to extend your educational qualifications and enhance your skills, you can choose from a wide range of courses from stand-alone modules to Bachelor’s and Master’s degrees.
Whatever post-registration course you choose it will challenge you academically and provide you with a solid foundation in evidence-based practice. The key benefit of the post-registration courses is that you can still develop your skills and knowledge while continuing to work and earn.
Who are they for?

They are suitable for a variety of qualified nurses and health professionals such as:

Careers opportunities
The post-registration courses in nursing support continuing professional development across a wide range of clinical and professional areas, enabling nurses to progress in their chosen career pathway and to enhance their career prospects.
Graduates from the courses can develop careers in specialities such as Intensive Care Nursing, Cancer Care Nursing and Emergency Nursing, to name but a few. In addition they can develop a more advanced and autonomous nursing practice in non-urgent care settings and community services.
