This Diploma prepares second-level nurses for more advanced health-related careers, building toward further bachelor's- and master's-level study down the line. The course develops knowledge, skills and competence for working with people facing health issues and for functioning effectively within multidisciplinary healthcare teams.
Content covers the developmental, physical, psychological, spiritual and mental sides of human health, alongside practical tools for dealing with illness and challenging behaviour. Maltese healthcare legislation runs through the course, framed by the professional-conduct and ethics code that Malta's Council for Nurses and Midwives sets for the profession.
Worth 60 ECTS at MQF Level 5, the diploma runs part-time over about fifteen months. Entry is open to second-level nurses holding a Level 4 Nursing Certificate, or to holders of a science-leaning MQF Level 4 qualification backed by the right secondary science passes; a year of healthcare work experience is preferred.
Requirements
Admission Requirements: Second-level nurse status with a minimum Level 4 Certificate in Nursing (or MQRIC-comparable), or an MQF Level 4 qualification (one A-Level, preferably science) with Biology, Chemistry or Physics at MQF Level 3 otherwise. A year of healthcare work experience is preferred.
