Modules
In your first year, you'll develop your practical skills in a simulated clinical environment within our Medical School. Module topics will introduce you to professional nursing, biosciences and clinical learning.

You'll apply your learning to assessing, planning, implementing and evaluating how people are cared for. There are a variety of placements in year two, with resilience-based clinical supervision to support your development. By your final year you'll be working under more distant supervision and you'll be responsible for a small group of patients, making confident and proactive decisions for their health. You'll take part in advanced clinical learning and developing your leadership skills for practice. You'll also have the opportunity to personalise your learning in year three through a choice of optional modules.
