Nursing Management - Bridging Programme

Suitable for Nurses and midwives who are educated to certificate or diploma level and who are following a management career pathway, and those who would like to advance their career in nursing management.

All applicants must be a registered nurse or midwife on the active register with the Nursing and Midwifery Board of Ireland or the relevant regulatory body in their country of practice before commencing a module of study. English language requirements for all programmes are published on the RCSI website at https://www.rcsi.com/dublin/postgraduate/policies-and-guidelines/english-language-requirements Recognition of prior learning (RPL) Learning occurs in many contexts, including work, involvement in social and community activities, and learning through life experience generally. Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) does not give credit for experience as such; rather, it considers learning that was acquired as a result of the experience. RPL may be used to gain admission to programmes where an applicant may not have obtained the standard entry requirements. This is considered on a case-by-case basis. Exemptions from programme modules that duplicate learning already demonstrably acquired through prior learning may also be considered on a case-by-case basis. English language requirement exceptions Applicants who have completed undergraduate/postgraduate full-time studies in the medium of the English language (three or more years cumulatively), and students registered with the NMBI, are exempt from these requirements.
