Masters Degrees in Nottingham, United Kingdom

Nottingham is an important regional city in the east midlands of England, around 110 miles north of London. The city is part of an important northern higher education area, with two local universities and around 35,000 students.

What's it like to study a Masters in Nottingham?

Nottingham is famous for its associations with the legends of Robin Hood, the outlaw folk-hero said to have lived in the nearby Sherwood Forest (and whose robbing of the rich to feed the poor might have made for a slightly unorthodox approach to postgraduate funding).

The city became an important centre of the nineteenth-century textile industry and retains a heritage district known as the Lace Market that was once the most important region for lace manufacture in the British Empire. Nottingham's modern economy is based on business and commerce, with various important corporate headquarters in the city.

Postgraduate students in Nottingham have access to a range of heritage sites and entertainment venues. If football's your thing you'll be able to check out the oldest professional club in the world (Notts County FC).

Or, if you're interested in sampling some traditional local beverages you'll find that three of Nottingham's pubs can trace their history as far back as the twelfth century (they also all claim to be the oldest in England - some extra-curricular work for history postgraduates, perhaps?).

Nottingham also offers some excellent music venues, including the Nottingham Arena, the Albert Hall and Nottingham Rock City, all of which host numerous touring artists.

Universities in Nottingham

The largest university in Nottingham is the University of Nottingham. First established in 1881, it is now a member of the UK's elite Russell Group and typically ranked as a UK top 20 and global top 100 institution. The city is also home to Nottingham Trent University, which can trace its origins to 1843 and is also a UK top 100 institution.

In addition to offering Masters courses at its own universities, Nottingham is close to a number of other English university cities, including Sheffield (home of the University of Sheffield and Sheffield Hallam University) 32 miles to the north and Loughborough (home of Loughborough University) 13 miles to the South.

Advanced Dietetic Practice Masters (MSc/PGDip/PGCert)

University of Nottingham
School of Biosciences
Distance from Nottingham: 0 miles

Continuing your professional development is not only a requirement for ongoing registration with the Health and Care Professions Council, but is increasingly recognised as important by government, professional bodies and the public sector.

Please note: this is not a PG pre-registration course for individuals with a first degree now wanting to train as a dietitian, but a PG post-registration programme suitable as continuing professional development for dietitians and other healthcare professionals. It is not available to international students.

The University of Nottingham has been a recognised provider of the British Dietetic Association's Masters in Advanced Dietetic programme since 2008. These new postgraduate qualifications have been designed to meet the BDA's requirements of both work based learning and research skills.

Practitioners who aspire to become increasingly competent professionals must develop the ability to evaluate current practice critically, both from the wider professional picture and their individual point of view.

These programmes offer a sound foundation for professional development on which to build your future success. Part-time and modular they have been designed to suit your personal and professional situation, whether that is a single module, a postgraduate certificate, diploma or the complete Masters programme.

Funding is available via the Strategic Health Authority's 'Learning Beyond Registration' initiative for free module places (except the 60 credit Research Project) for staff within the East Midlands region.

These programmes have been specially developed by professionals in Nutritional Sciences in the School of Biosciences, one of the University's most successful schools based at the Sutton Bonington Campus.

A natural progression from your BSc, the Masters Advanced Nursing builds on your skills and specialist knowledge, giving you a deeper understanding and leading to wider career opportunities.

With nursing in England becoming an all-graduate profession, further study will help you stay ahead. Higher qualifications demonstrate your ambition and aptitude for learning, and many of our MSc students and graduates find they achieve promotion during or soon after their course. In fact, in clinical practice, applicants for senior and advanced nursing posts are increasingly expected to possess, or be working towards, masters-level qualifications. A masters degree is also the entry qualification for a career in teaching.

Taking an Advanced Nursing course is a real investment in your career. The programme’s educational framework has been carefully designed to improve healthcare practice and, ultimately, patient care. Therefore your assignments will be firmly grounded in the realities you face in the workplace, developing skills and knowledge that will lead to practical benefits for you and your team.

You will join students from diverse clinical backgrounds, including acute and community care settings. Many come from the UK, but also Europe and even further afield; all share a common enthusiasm and commitment to advancing their careers – and the profession. Learning from each other, as much as from experienced teachers, you will develop new friendships that will last long after the course.

Alongside the clear career benefits this qualification brings, this challenging course is also hugely rewarding on a personal level and many of our students comment on the enormous sense of satisfaction and achievement in gaining an award at this level.

Applied Biomolecular Technology for the Biopharmaceutical, Food and Biotechnology Industries (MSc)

University of Nottingham
School of Biosciences
Distance from Nottingham: 0 miles

This course offers advanced training for biological, chemical and physical scientists (pure and applied) for careers in the pharmaceutical, food/nutrition, health-care, biomedical, oil and other important industries or as a basis for entry to MRes or PhD.

Biomolecular Technology underpins the production of drug delivery systems, the making of healthier food products, the design of health-care products, the making of antisera and vaccines - and even the efficient extraction of oil from the harsh environment of a deep well: these are among the biotechnology processes which depend in fundamental terms on our ability to handle giant molecular complexes of living origin. Furthermore, molecular biologists and chemists are now increasingly able to ‘engineer’ new types of proteins and complexes over and beyond those which 3 billion years of evolution have provided.

Industry needs skilled personnel capable of understanding how these molecules may be used in an industrial context and the processes of gene cloning and protein engineering.

It is taught by the School of Biosciences in conjunction with the University's Schools of Pharmacy, Biomedical Sciences and Clinical Sciences and The School of Biosciences at the University of Leicester. Experts from local and national industry also contribute, ensuring access to the latest developments in the field.

A 3 month industrial placement module offers an exciting opportunity to discover first hand the needs of modern industry and provides advanced training for employment and further academic studies.
By suitable arrangement non-UK students can do this in their normal country of residence.

Applicants should hold first degrees at honours level in any Biological, Chemical or Physical Science subject (e.g. Biochemistry, Chemistry, Pharmacy, Genetics, Food Sciences, Plant Sciences, Physics). Suitably motivated candidates with Engineering or Mathematics degrees will also be considered.

A number of scholarships and European bursaries may be available.
