Program overview
A one year master for qualified nurses developing advanced practice, taking in healthcare leadership, evidence based practice and service improvement.
Master of Science in Nursing Practice is built for people who already hold a nursing qualification. It is not a conversion route for graduates from other subjects and it confers no UK registration.
Master of Science in Nursing Practice is taught at the University of Sunderland in London, and completing Master of Science in Nursing Practice supports a UK Graduate Route application, giving 18 months of post study work permission for applications made from January 2027. The university is a licensed sponsor with a track record of compliance, so the Confirmation of Acceptance for Studies for Master of Science in Nursing Practice in London is issued directly. Master of Science in Nursing Practice at the London campus is a taught programme, and UK rules since January 2024 bar students on taught programmes from bringing a spouse or children as dependants.

Admission requirements
Who can apply (guide for international students):
- Education: A bachelor degree. The university recognises internationally accredited qualifications and assesses them against UK comparability guidance, so a three year Indian bachelor degree from a recognised university is accepted. Individual courses may set a higher percentage or require a related subject.
- English (meet any one): IELTS Academic 6.0 overall with no band below 5.5, or PTE Academic 59 overall with no component below 59. TOEFL and the Duolingo English Test are not accepted.
- Application and deposit: No application fee. The London campus requires a tuition deposit of 50 percent of the annual fee before the Confirmation of Acceptance for Studies can be issued, which is a different rule from the flat deposit charged at the Sunderland campus.
- Scholarship: An automatic GBP 5,500 Global Leaders Scholarship tuition reduction applies to eligible postgraduate applicants, and is shown on the conditional offer letter.
- Work permit: Master of Science in Nursing Practice leads to a University of Sunderland degree at a licensed student sponsor, so it supports a Graduate Route application, granted at 18 months for applications made from January 2027. Dependants cannot accompany students on taught programmes under UK rules in force since January 2024.
- Student visa: Apply Study Visa completes the Confirmation of Acceptance for Studies stage and the UK student visa submission with you.
