NursingM.Sc.(in state approval and accreditation)
With shifting demographics, a rising prevalence of dementia, and growing mental health challenges, the demand for highly skilled nursing professionals has never been more critical. Demographic ageing is driving increasing demand in long-term care, rehabilitation, dementia care, and gerontopsychiatric services, while chronic workforce shortages continue to challenge psychiatric, addiction, and crisis care settings. In response to these pressing societal and healthcare needs, our Master's in Nursing programme deliberately focuses on two high-impact specialisations, Geriatric Nursing and Mental Health Nursing, rather than offering broad coverage across multiple fields.
