Short courses in School of Nursing
School of Nursing offers a number of short-courses for post-graduate study and CPD.
You may wish to take single modules in order to either further enhance your knowledge or skills in specific aspects of nursing, without wishing to commit to one of the preceding courses.
Alternatively, credits gained from successful completion of a credit bearing module may be used towards a specific academic qualifications including undergraduate and postgraduate courses should you wish to engage in further academic study.
Virtually all of the modules offered by the School of Nursing can be taken as standalone so you can choose from a vast range of subjects.
The most common modules that students undertake are listed below.
In order for a module to be viable this will be dependent on demand as well as the availability of staff to teach on the module.
Therefore not ALL modules listed will be available every single year.
Please check with the individual Module Co-ordinator or Faculty Office contact should you have any queries.
