Master in MSc Nursing: Child

The tuition fee is 33,305 USD per year.

Children's nursing explores how to deliver safe, compassionate care to infants, children and adolescents, addressing the physical, emotional and developmental needs of young patients and their families. The programme’s distinctive feature is its accreditation by the Nursing and Midwifery Council, guaranteeing that graduates meet professional registration standards. Study is organised over two full-time years: the first year builds foundational skills in person-centred care and core health sciences, while the second year focuses on specialist paediatric practice, leadership development and a research dissertation, all complemented by extensive clinical placements in NICU, PICU, paediatric wards and community settings.

The course combines compulsory modules that blend theoretical learning with 2,300 hours of practice, ensuring you develop both knowledge and hands-on competence. An experienced registered nurse acts as a personal academic tutor, supporting progress throughout the programme.

Graduates become eligible for NMC registration and can pursue roles in hospitals, specialist clinics, schools, hospices and emergency services, with pathways to leadership, research and advanced practice.
