Welcome
Welcome to the School of Nursing and Midwifery, University of Dundee. The University is one of 12 Scottish Universities and has a student population of approximately 17,000. Whether you are a student studying ‘on’ or ‘off’ campus you are now a valuable part of the University and we hope your learning experience will be enjoyable and successful, both personally and professionally.
By participating in post graduate study, you have become part of a very special global community of healthcare professionals working to enhance their professional qualifications. These degrees bring together healthcare professionals from many diverse countries including the UK, Kenya, Saudi Arabia and the USA.
A team of highly skilled academic staff, many of whom are active within our two research programmes are here to help you cope with the demands. The many support structures built into the design and delivery of these programmes are explained fully in this handbook. The School has a growing national and international research profile, which provides a wonderful platform for postgraduate teaching and learning. This programme guide is a useful resource to support you throughout your studies. It contains important information about your programme of study including details of the academic and administrative support available to you as a student with the School of Nursing and Midwifery at the University of Dundee. Please take time to read this so that you become acquainted with its scope and content and the way in which the programme is structured. In addition to the information in this guide, you will be alerted to any changes via the SNM Post Qualifying Forum site on My Dundee and via your University email account. Please check this site and your emails regularly. See pages 8 and 9 for information about accessing My Dundee and University emails.
I would like to take this opportunity, on behalf of all of the Postgraduate Team in the School of Nursing and Midwifery, to wish you well with your chosen programme of study and hope that the time spent here at the University of Dundee is both happy and productive. Enjoy the journey!
