Nursing, midwifery and social work (taught postgraduate and CPD)
We're looking forward to welcoming you to Manchester to start your postgraduate degree with us.
We know you'll have lots of questions about preparing for your studies and what will happen once the semester starts. We'll be in touch with you about what you need to know closer to the start of the year.
This includes an email that we will send to you when you need to complete online introductory courses in areas such as health and safety as part of your induction programme. You can also look out for these courses when they are added to Blackboard, our online learning platform, after you have registered as a student.
In the meantime, you can take a look at general information about getting ready to come to Manchester at the links below. Information for students joining the MSc Adult Nursing course can find specific details on the MSc Adult Nursing pre-arrival information page.
