• MBA

Both theoretical and practical tuition is available in fields such as human resources, finance, marketing and accounting. Those who choose to study and MBA after their BSC Nursing course may pursue career paths such as healthcare management or nursing management, as MBA degrees typically lead to positions as high as CEO.
• MBBS
An MBBS stands for Bachelor of Medicine, Bachelor of Surgery. This degree course originated in the United Kingdom but is not studied and practiced in countries such as America, Australia and China. The course is usually up to six years in duration, and often leads to further study, such as an MD or MS.
• MS/MD
An MS stands for a Master of Science, whilst an MD is a Masters Degree. Both of these can be specialized in some way to suit your nursing background. An MD in nursing will provide you with both practical and theoretical knowledge to further you nursing career, and usually entails a four year course. A Master of Science in Nursing often leads to occupations such as clinical advisor, healthcare advisor, midwife, anesthetist and practice nurse.
