• Have an active registration with the Nursing and Midwifery Board of Ireland or other registration in a country in which you are practicing if you are an international student.
• Be working in the specialist practice of the programme for the duration of the programme. Please note:
• For MSc programmes delivered by the RCSI School of Nursing and Midwifery in partnership with specific partner hospitals, you must also be working in the specific hospital associated with the programme or other site which has been audit approved for the duration of the programme.
• For MSc programmes delivered solely by the RCSI School of Nursing and Midwifery, you will be expected to provide a clinical learning agreement signed by a director of nursing or designate. 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 which duplicate learning already demonstrably acquired through prior learning may also be considered on a case-by-case basis.
