Master of Nursing Science
EIT’s Master of Nursing Science programme will build on knowledge, skills and attributes which registered nurses have gained in their undergraduate degrees and subsequent professional practice. The programme is designed to meet the needs of registered nurses who are seeking postgraduate study to prepare them for a variety of advanced nursing practice, nursing education, policy, management and other leadership roles.
The Master of Nursing Science is a 180-credit (one and one-half years full-time, or three years part-time) programme, which enables registered nurses to further develop their knowledge and skills for professional practice. Graduates of the programme will be equipped with expanded nursing knowledge, refined skills for evidence-based practice, enhanced clinical judgment and research skills, which will enable them to deliver advanced nursing practice, nursing education and provide leadership.
