Course Summary

Our Nursing Studies postgraduate students have an outstanding record of contributing to the knowledge and evidence base in nursing. The programme also has a strong tradition of welcoming students from overseas, as well as the UK.

Our main areas of research activity and development currently relate to the themes of experience of health and illness, and organisation and policy for person-centred care.

The main areas of study we can supervise for doctoral research are: critical care; emotions and care; mental health; addictions and substance misuse; public health community care and leadership; pain management; cancer care; nursing education; patient safety and quality issues.

We have expertise in a range of qualitative and quantitative and mixed methods research approaches.

Training and support

The MSc by Research in Nursing Studies provides students with an advanced understanding of research design, data collection and data analysis issues in nursing.

The programme is designed for qualified practitioners and graduates and enables students to develop their understanding of debates about research, evidence and practice in relation to nursing and related fields.

Modules

The dissertation constitutes the main work in which the student demonstrates the extent to which he or she has achieved the crucial learning outcomes from the programme's research training components. It normally takes the form of a report of a piece of empirical research, and has the following components: Critical review of the literature (substantive and theoretical, weighted as appropriate) on the chosen research topic; Statement of the specific research aims/questions to be addressed, and how these relate to the review of literature; Presentation and critical appraisal of the research design and methods employed.
