Course Description

This degree program fulfills the professional requirement to practice as a nurse is a degree within the discipline of nursing. In the global context, nursing administration, nursing management, advanced practice in nursing and academic positions in nursing education require nurses with post-graduate qualifications. In this regard, KIU has recognized the vacuum in this sphere of nursing and the increasing demand for such a programme which aggravates year by year with continual passing out of nursing graduates from various universities of Sri Lanka. Further, it is imperative that KIU nursing graduates will have a path for them to continue further studies at a higher level. In this context, KIU strongly believes that a Master of Science in Nursing (with course work and a research component) programme is an essential, timely need for the country.
