Nursing Studies
The University of Edinburgh has a long tradition of preparing graduate nurses. As an academic discipline Nursing Studies encompasses a multifaceted approach to understanding healthcare delivery, patient care, and the broader implications of healthcare systems within society.
Our focus extends beyond the clinical aspects of nursing practice to include research, education, leadership, and advocacy. Learn about what we are doing to elevate and strengthen the influence and impact of nurses and nurse communities around the world.
Edinburgh Global Nursing Initiative
As well as the undergraduate programme that leads to registration as a nurse (adult branch), the department offers a range of taught and research postgraduate programmes, MSc/Diplomas to PhD, that may be taken on a full or a part-time basis.
In 2026 we will celebrate 70 years of world-class nursing education. Find out more about the close-knit, student and staff nursing community at the University of Edinburgh.
