This program offers graduates with a bachelor's degree the chance to complete a two-year intensive Master's program, leading to eligibility for registration with the Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC). Designed to cultivate confident, skilled, and empathetic learning disability nurses, the course prepares students for today's dynamic healthcare landscape.
Participants will enhance both clinical and theoretical abilities to excel as learning disability nurses while meeting NMC Standards. The curriculum covers professional ethics, effective communication, clinical practice, critical thinking, and leadership development. Field-specific practical training addresses diverse physical, mental, and social care requirements.
With an equal balance of classroom instruction (50%) and hands-on experience (50%), this rigorous program includes placements across various healthcare environments. Spanning two years with mandatory modules, students collaborate with peers from different nursing specialties.
The University maintains robust partnerships with NHS Trusts throughout West Yorkshire and beyond, along with private providers serving individuals with learning disabilities

You must have the following:
An Honours degree (2:2 or above) and work experience relevant to the programme to be followed. Applicants with an Honours degree and considerable relevant experience may also be considered if they can demonstrate their ability to study at Masters level.
Completed 12 years of general education.
GCSE English Language or Literature and Maths at grade 4 or above, or grade C or above if awarded under the previous GCSE grading scheme, or equivalent.
If successful at interview, applicants are required to successfully demonstrate that they have completed 550 hours of theory through studying/reading and 325 hours of practice before they start the course using a Pre-Entry Portfolio. A broad range of experience can be used for this including observations and reading. Your experience and learning may have occurred outside a typical 'practice' area but may still be applicable, for example you may have worked in a public-facing professional role in which you have demonstrated values relating to the professional standards that registered nurses must uphold (Nursing & Midwifery Council 2018).
The minimum for IELTS is 6.5 overall with no element lower than 6.0, or equivalent will be considered acceptable.
