Course summary

Help to improve people’s lives on a daily basis by specialising in the diverse and rewarding field of adult nursing. As a student nurse, you’ll spend 50% of your time on placements. It will include caring for patients with serious illnesses or life-long conditions. We also offer elective placements, where students can travel as far afield as Tanzania and the US. We can support you in securing funding for these opportunities. You’ll spend up to three days a week on campus, learning theory and practising in our immersive spaces. On simulated wards, you could be treating injuries, doing assessments and higher level skills such as cannulation on high-fidelity manikins. Students also work with real service users. We offer lots of careers support too. As the course is accredited by the Nursing and Midwifery Council, you’ll be eligible to become a registered nurse on graduation. It can lead to lots of careers, ranging from becoming a staff nurse in an acute hospital to a nurse specialist or district nurse.
