The College of Nursing offers postgraduate nursing programs with various exit options, including a Master of Science in Nursing (MSc), a Postgraduate Diploma (PG-Dip), and a Postgraduate Certificate (PG-Cert) in different clinical specialties, such as Cardiovascular Nursing, Critical Care Nursing, Emergency Nursing, and Pediatric Nursing.
The programs offer several clinical specialties, including Cardiovascular Nursing, Critical Care Nursing, Emergency Care Nursing, and Pediatric Nursing with Specialty Concentration.
Students in these specialties can graduate with a Master of Science in Nursing (MSc) degree, a Postgraduate Diploma (PG-Dip) degree, or a Postgraduate Certificate (PG-Cert) program.
Students in the Pediatric Nursing specialty degree programs can also choose to graduate with one of the following concentrations: Pediatric Nursing with a focus on Pediatric Critical Care, Pediatric Emergency Care, or Pediatric Oncology.
The pediatric nursing clinical specialty program (MSc, PG-Dip, and PG-Cert) enables graduates to earn their degree or certificate with a clinical concentration/focus of study during their final semester. This involves taking a specialty course within the focus area and completing a semester of clinical placement training in the specialty area.
The advantage of having a concentration within the degree/certificate is to give a clinical focus beyond the general pediatric skills.
The postgraduate programs are designed to equip nurses with the advanced knowledge, skills, and clinical expertise needed to manage and care for patients with complex conditions. Learners will gain a deeper knowledge and sharpen their critical thinking and clinical judgment skills, enhancing their ability to function with more advanced clinical skills and become clinical specialist leaders.
Multiple Exit Options means that students with varying preparation levels, at different stages in their lives, can choose to graduate/exit the program and earn an academic degree. They can also return at a later stage in their life to complete their degree at the next level. The available Exit Options are: Master’s degree (MSc), Postgraduate Diploma degree (PG-Dip), and Postgraduate Certificate (PG-Cert).
