Programme overview

If you answered yes to these questions, our children’s nursing and social work degree is for you. This integrated Masters is delivered alongside our partners in the Cheshire & Merseyside Social Work Teaching Partnership and leads to eligibility for two professional awards. Together, we’ll prepare you for a career as a children’s nurse and social work practitioner in a range of health and social care settings.

What you will study

Everything you learn on this programme is underpinned by the national requirements for both nursing and social work education. You’ll start by looking at nursing and social work as distinct professions, then explore the life sciences which shape both disciplines. 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 Children’s 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. Children with complex and long-term conditions increasingly require treatment underpinned by a greater understanding from a more integrated health and social care perspective.
