Course summary

Become an adult nurse and make a difference every day. Equip yourself with the clinical skills, knowledge and confidence you need to register with the Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC) and deliver exceptional care to patients. Be at the heart of healthcare, working directly with patients and clinicians to improve and save lives every day. Study an adult nursing degree at Sheffield and we’ll show you why this profession is as rewarding as it is challenging, with plenty of opportunities to grow into a life-long career. Informed by the latest research, this degree will provide you with excellent preparation to become a registered adult nurse. You’ll split your time equally between studying theory and building experience on placement. It’s here, working directly with clinicians and patients, that you’ll develop skills in leadership, problem-solving, communication and resilience – all crucial to becoming a capable and compassionate nurse. Throughout the three-year programme you’ll be taught by qualified nurses and healthcare professionals – both in the classroom and out on placement – who will support you to become the very best nurse you can be. Why study this course?

  • £5,000+ annual NHS training grant - annual NHS grants are available for all eligible UK home students to help you with your studies, as well as funding to cover the cost of placements.
  • Get hands-on in our clinic - put your theory into practice in a safe, supportive environment. Our Clinical Skills Centre features mock wards, resuscitation suites, simulation theatres and homes, and VR equipment.
  • Here for you on placement - you’ll spend half your time on clinical placements in a range of community, primary care and hospital settings. Placement support is crucial to success, and you’ll get that from our hospital supervisors and assessors, academic staff and our dedicated Clinical Practice Support Educator.
This course is approved by the Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC). It will give you the clinical skills and knowledge you need for entry into the NMC professional register as an adult nurse.
