The Burdett Fellows Studentship

The Burdett Trust for Nursing was established in 2002 with the aim of making charitable grants to support the nursing contribution to healthcare. The scholarships have a particular focus on developing research capacity and leadership within the nursing profession. The studentship supports qualified nurses interested in developing world class research skills through the MSc by Research (Nursing) programme in Nursing Studies. It aims to provide students with an advanced understanding of research design, data collection and data analysis issues in nursing and the wider health and social care context. The programme enables students to develop their understanding of debates about research, evidence and practice from a nursing lens. The programme is designed for qualified nurse practitioners and for graduates interested in pursuing a future career as a research leader in the field to drive real-world positive change for global population health. Successful recipients will be known as The Burdett Fellows or Nursing Studies Burdett Fellows.
