LJMU has an excellent employability record with 96% (Graduate Outcomes, 2018/19) of our postgraduates in work or further study 15 months after graduation. Our applied learning techniques and strong industry connections ensure our students are fully prepared for the workplace on graduation and understand how to apply their knowledge in a real world context.
 

As a Registered Nurse working within your chosen field of expertise, you may already be in full-time employment. Postgraduate study is used by some students to open up career progression opportunities. For others, it’s as an opportunity to up-skill in a different specialism, and for many, it meets the critical need to maintain up to date knowledge. 

As a degree profession, nursing sees the added value that research, learning and academic study can have on the patient journey, quality of care and of course nurses’ personal and professional development.
 

Key to this is lifelong learning strongly supported by the regulatory body the Nursing and Midwifery Council through the revalidation requirement.
