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. Nursing and Nursing Associate apprenticeships The University of Sheffield also offers degree apprenticeship routes into Nursing, with both a Nursing Associate programme and an 18-month Nursing Top-up programme. Apprenticeship places are advertised locally in partnership organisations (such as NHS jobs), with teaching split into work-based learning and “off-the-job” learning (university study days and alternative placements). Both courses are accredited by the Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC). If you are an employer interested in having a Nursing or Nursing Associate apprenticeship in your clinical area, or you're looking to find out more about studying for an apprenticeship yourself, follow the link below or email [email protected] for more information. Foundation courses Mature students without standard entry qualifications can also study this course with a foundation year, which prepares them for degree-level study. For more information and entry requirements, visit Lifelong Learning. 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.
