Introduction

Psychology is the science of mind and behaviour. It is concerned with the systematic study of individual psychological processes and the social context of experience.

On our psychology masters courses, you'll search for answers to important psychological questions: Can you determine whether a violent offender will reoffend? What is the role of empathy in the therapeutic process? What evidence is there to support the effectiveness of psychodynamic interpersonal therapy? You'll learn about the vast range of approaches, theories and methodologies that make up contemporary psychology in your specialism.

Why study nursing at Edge Hill University?

We've been educating nurses since 1994 - that's over 30 years. When you start your journey into nursing with us, you're studying with one of the leading providers in the North West. Take advantage of top facilities, including our Clinical Skills and Simulation Centre, home to human patient simulators which can imitate a range of symptoms.

We're also home to inspirational and award-winning students. Our very own Paige Rivers was the winner of the award for Most Inspirational Student Nurse of the Year at the Student Nursing Times Awards 2025.

Inspiring nursing degrees

Pick from four specialist fields:

All our degrees are approved by the Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC), whichever field you choose.

You'll spend 50% of your time in practice, undertaken in hospitals and community settings within the NHS, local authority, independent and voluntary organisations. As soon as you graduate you'll be eligible to register as a qualified nurse.

And you can gain eligibility to register with the NMC as a qualified nurse in two fields with our four-year MSci Nursing (Hons).

Innovative courses at Edge Hill University

We also deliver an innovative suite of programmes. We offer eligibility to register with the NMC as a qualified nurse while also enabling you to apply for registration with Social Work England as a qualified social worker:

Foundation Nursing Associate degrees

If you want to care for diverse patients, hone your skills with a broad range of practical experiences, and qualify to provide clinical support for registered nurses, complete our Foundation Nursing Associate course, gaining eligibility to apply for registration with the NMC.

Converting to nursing and postgraduate qualifications

If you already hold a non-nursing degree, our two-year MSc Nursing programmes provide a route for graduates to gain eligibility to register with the Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC) as a professionally-qualified nurse.

And if you're a qualified nurse holding current registration with the NMC, you can also train with us in a second field of nursing. Our one year full-time PGDip Nursing course, enables you to undertake an additional professional role in adult nursing, children's nursing, learning disability nursing or mental health nursing, and achieve dual registration.

NHS funding support for Edge Hill University nursing students

The NHS Learning Support Fund (LSF) is designed to help students on certain health-related courses as we educate and train the next generation of able and compassionate nurses and healthcare workers. Your personal circumstances will determine what you get.

Got questions? You may find the answer in our Nursing and midwifery placement FAQs.

What is a Standardised/Simulated Participant (SP)?

Standardised/Simulated Participants, or SPs, are members of the public who undergo training to play the roles of family members or patients. They are referred to as medical role-players.

As an SP you'll enable students to develop necessary skills such as interpersonal and communication techniques. You'll also provide a standardised, consistent and more realistic learning experience for future healthcare professionals. Your role will play a vital role in improving their confidence and engagement.

The SP was everything I could have hoped for when writing the simulation scenario. Academic feedback

What is required?

We're looking for dynamic, enthusiastic individuals from all walks of life. No previous experience in medical roleplay or acting is required.

We want to accurately portray the diverse communities that we live in, and actively encourage people of all ages, genders, and cultural backgrounds to get involved.

Ability to follow instructions and guidance

A team player

Willing to be recorded and provide feedback to students

A desire to support our healthcare students

How will I be supported in the role?

If you're interested in becoming an SP, you'll be invited to attend our free workshops. Sessions run at our Ormskirk and Manchester St James campuses, dependent on availability and demand. The sessions allow you to explore the role in more detail, and to decide if it's the right fit for you.

Following employment as an SP, continuous support will be provided from our SP lead and the Clinical Skills and Simulation team.

The experience was enjoyable and rewarding. I'm looking forward to future SP roles involved with students' training needs.
