The Faculty of Nursing, Midwifery and Health's postgraduate programs aim to ensure that opportunities are provided for nurses to study at the graduate level, whether they were educated in hospitals or the higher education sector. Enrolment in a postgraduate program provides an opportunity to study within a challenging and stimulating environment. Postgraduate nursing programs provide the scope for nurses to strengthen and expand their knowledge in the nursing discipline while also encouraging study and research in specialised areas of nursing.

Two categories of postgraduate courses are offered – those by coursework and those by research.
