Care where it matters most. Manage with impact!
North-West University’s Postgraduate Diplomas in Nursing Education and Health Services Management are designed to elevate the expertise of professional nurses and prepare them for specialist roles. Whether you are called to educate the next generation of nurses or to lead healthcare systems from within, both qualifications offer the opportunity to deepen your knowledge, sharpen your skills, and register as a recognised non clinical nursing specialist with the South African Nursing Council (SANC).
These programmes combine advanced educational or managerial training with a strong focus on ethical leadership, evidence-based practice, and real-world application – empowering you to lead with care and impact where it matters most.
You can articulate to a master’s degree after completing the PGDip, provided you meet the specific admission requirements of the master’s programme.
