This will enable you to become a highly educated nurse with longer-term potential for roles in areas such as management leadership consultancy and educational research Our course will also prepare you for professional registration, with key components including the delivery of person-centered care / compassionate care / value-based care/patient safety agenda / professional legal and ethical issues

You must have a professional background and be working within environments where mental ill health is a determinant of client outcome. You will need an identified workplace supervisor and a supportive manager to assist you across the duration of the course.

You must also have a relevant Ordinary bachelor's degree or equivalent qualification at SCQF Level 9 (i.e. Graduate Certificate in Acute Care) normally within the past five years and have a command of current, evidenced-based knowledge within your chosen subject.

Consideration will be given if you have an Ordinary bachelor's degree in a related topic or gained your degree several years ago where continued further development in knowledge through postgraduate studies would demonstrate currency in certified learning, at the discretion of the Course Leader.
