MNSW (Hons) Adult Nursing & Social Work at Edge Hill University

Programme overview

At Edge Hill University, we believe in an integrated approach. Studying our integrated Masters, you’ll learn how nursing and social work go hand-in-hand, and graduate with eligibility for two professional awards. Our teaching is delivered alongside our partners in the Cheshire & Merseyside Social Work Teaching Partnership.

What you will study

Our teaching is underpinned by the national requirements for both nursing and social work education. In Year 1, we’ll introduce nursing and social work as distinct professions. Modules include Contemporary Nursing, Contemporary Social Work, Foundation Science, Theory and Method in Nursing and Social Work, Foundations for Integrated Practice, Adults Within an Integrated Health and Social Care Context, Children, Young People and Their Families Within an Integrated Health and Social Care Context, Developing Capability for Integrated Practice, Law and Policy in Nursing and Social Work.

Career pathways

By the end of our Adult Nursing & Social Work MNSW course, you’ll have a Masters level academic qualification and two professional awards, giving you the edge when applying for roles. Adults with complex and long-term conditions increasingly require treatment underpinned by a greater understanding from a more integrated health and social care perspective.
