On successful completion of this Nursing Studies course at University College Cork, which is offered annually, you will be awarded a National University of Ireland Bachelor of Science (BSc Nursing Studies) degree.
The course is aimed at building on the foundations provided by pre-registration programmes and professional experience. It should appeal to students from a number of clinical areas and from management positions. It will provide an opportunity to develop skills and knowledge applicable to current practice in general and specialist areas.
This course is designed to allow nurses and midwives to work and attend university simultaneously, to suit service, personal and academic requirements. However, some students allow themselves protected university time by taking unpaid study leave.
Students taking the one-year option will attend university for approximately 40 days in one academic year, with lectures given over three block weeks and a one-day-per-week release for the remaining time.
