Funding Opportunities
Funded Postgraduate Courses for Nurses, Midwives and AHPs
The School of Nursing, Midwifery and Social Work (ranked number one for nursing and midwifery research in the 2008 Research Assessment Exercise), is offering a new set of masters degrees, to be delivered by face-face and on-line learning methods and individual supervision. Fully funded places (salary and course fees) are available to practitioners who want to develop as a clinical researcher, for courses starting in September 2009. This is an ideal opportunity for people wishing to remain in clinical practice but who want to extend their research skills and knowledge. The courses also provide an excellent foundation for a research career and further study at PhD level.
