The MHSc (Diabetes) Nursing postgraduate degree at the University of Galway is designed for registered nurses seeking to specialise in the complex and evolving field of diabetes care.

This programme embraces the full spectrum of diabetes nursing, from prevention and early diagnosis through to chronic disease management, preparing you to make a significant contribution to patient outcomes and practice innovation.
This full-time, on-campus Masters programme is studied over two years. Your learning will be structured around core modules in diabetes, clinical competence, and advanced research methods, alongside essential topics such as clinical governance and recognising client deterioration. You will also have the opportunity to focus on specific areas like diabetic foot disease and engage in service improvement projects. In your second year, you will complete a significant research dissertation, applying your specialist knowledge to an area of personal or professional interest, equipping you for advanced practice roles in diabetes nursing.
