Course Overview

As health service delivery becomes increasingly integrated, this PGDip Child Nursing course meets the demand for highly employable nurses who can work with complex morbidities across the lifespan, within different settings.

You’ll have access to practice learning opportunities that will enhance your personal and professional values and beliefs. You’ll become a highly competent, resilient, and empowered children’s nurse.

Once you graduate from our PGDip Nursing (Child), you’ll be eligible to register as a qualified children’s nurse with the Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC). You’ll have the knowledge, skills, and attitudes needed to help plan, coordinate and deliver care in a safe, compassionate and effective way.

General Eligibility

You must have current registration with the Nursing and Midwifery Council as a nurse and provide evidence of having worked as a registrant in your intended second field. It is a Nursing and Midwifery Council requirement that any prior experiential learning used to gain entry to the course is capable of being mapped to the standards of proficiency for registered nurses.

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.

Applicants without a degree may be considered based on practice experience, subject to demonstrating a comprehensive knowledge of the discipline, including an in-depth awareness of current issues. Skills in critical analysis and evaluation, as well as the ability to learn in a flexible, independent manner, are essential.

An interview forms part of the selection process.
