The MPhil in Nursing Studies offers students a unique opportunity to undertake research into the principles and practice of nursing. Students will be offered opportunities to access the Masters level research methods modules to provide a sound foundation of specific research knowledge and skills. In addition, students will have access to the University of Essex’s Proficio research training scheme which allows them to choose training programmes that meet the requirements of their own research topics and methodologies.
This MPhil is offered on a 2 year full-time, plus up to one year of completion. Some people choose to do an MPhil before applying to undertake a PhD in order to develop their research skills and knowledge and to demonstrate their self-discipline and time management skills to potential supervisors or funders.
The School of Health and Social Care is proud to work closely with the Service User Reference Group (SURG). SURG is made up of service users, carers, and volunteers who generously share their first-hand experiences of health and social care. The University of Essex works collaboratively with SURG to design their courses to ensure that they truly are putting the needs of patients and clients at the heart of what they do. SURG are involved as part of the course application processes and often form part of the interview panels. This helps the University of Essex to be confident that they are selecting the right applicants for the course and their future careers. SURG members also support the delivery of teaching sessions and research activity, which means students will benefit from an insight into their lived experiences of living with a diagnosis, health condition, or circumstance. Students will find that not only does their clinical knowledge expand, but their empathy, compassion and ability to advocate develops also.
