Hide-Your course
The clinical experience the nurse brings to the theoretical knowledge gained through this programme promotes the development of expert practice. The degree can also be used as a stepping stone to advanced practice and teaching qualifications. The theoretical and philosophical underpinnings of nursing practice, research methodology and evidence-based practice, practice development and the conduct of research form the framework for reflection on practice and exploration of its aspects. Options are available in education and specific clinical areas. Modules/coursework includes core modules addressing nursing theory and research. Students also choose from a range of optional modules and undertake a research dissertation.
