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 build a fulfilling, life-long career. Throughout the three-year programme you’ll be taught by qualified nurses, healthcare professionals and clinical academics who will support you to become the very best nurse you can be. Individualised tutoring, peer-to-peer learning, and hands-on clinical skills sessions will help foster a safe, supportive environment in which you can excel. Half of your studies will be spent on placement in a range of hospital, primary care and community settings. 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. Why study this course?
  • 1st in the UK for nursing: The Complete University Guide has ranked Sheffield the top university in the UK for nursing two years running (2024, 2025) with top scores in student satisfaction and graduate prospects.
  • Learn directly from patients: Experience your career first-hand with practical teaching that puts the patient experience first. You’ll learn directly from patients in a range of settings; whether you’re out on placement or working with volunteer patients from our Patients as Educators programme.
  • A nationally recognised, supportive team: Studying nursing isn’t always easy, which is why we offer students a range of support services. Our weekly wellbeing sessions, inclusive timetabling, and responsive placement support are there to help you succeed, and we’re proud to have been recognised for this commitment as a Student Nursing Times’ Nurse Education Provider of the Year (pre-registration) 2024 finalist.
  • £5,000+ annual NHS training grant: NHS training grants are available for all eligible UK home students to help you with your studies.
