MSc Nursing (Learning Disabilities)

... United Kingdom
... Edge Hill University

Course Overview

Join us to prepare to work with people who have a diverse range of health conditions and support individuals as they face different challenges.

With this MSc Nursing (Learning Disabilities) degree, you’ll learn how to deliver care to adults and children with learning disabilities, while also getting a broader awareness of the needs of all client groups.

You’ll promote good physical and mental health alongside emotional well-being, with the opportunity to apply what you’ve learned on supervised work placements.

By the time you graduate, you’ll have developed the skills to help plan, coordinate and deliver care. And you’ll be able to register as a qualified learning disabilities nurse with the Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC).

General Eligibility

You should have a degree equivalent to UK first-class or second-class honors (2:2 or above). Health-related subjects are preferred but not essential. Other subjects will be considered on an individual basis.

An interview forms part of the selection process.

Pre-registration nursing courses are typically three years in duration so, in order to join this two-year MSc, you will be required to apply for Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL). This will be in the form of three short pieces of written work (essays) and evidence which will also confirm that you have met a minimum of 700 hours of appropriate health-related occupational or voluntary experience. Further details about RPL, including guidance on the development of your three short academic essays, will be sent to you upon successful completion of an interview.

If you accept an offer from Edge Hill you will need to satisfy the requirements of the Nursing & Midwifery Council in respect of physical and mental fitness and will be required to apply for a Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) Enhanced Disclosure indicating that you meet the mandatory criteria of ‘Clearance to Work with Children and/or Vulnerable Adults’. Further information will be sent to you after you have firmly accepted an offer.
