Course summary
What makes Nursing (Adult) BSc (Hons) with Foundation Year at the University of Worcester special? This Nursing with Foundation Year course is designed for students who do not have the formal qualification or meet the normal entry requirement for BSc Nursing programme, but who have relevant life experiences and are committed to a career as a Registered Nurse. The Foundation Year aims to provide you with fundamental knowledge and skills to prepare you for successful progression onto the NMC approved Nursing degree course. During the Foundation Year, you will study with students preparing for a range of professional courses, including paramedicine, physiotherapy and occupational therapy. You'll be taught by expert staff and be guided at every step of the way, preparing you for your future career as a Registered Nurse. Our supportive learning environment will allow you to develop the confidence and skills needed for success on your Nursing degree. On successful completion of the Foundation Year, you will progress onto our exciting and transformational Adult Nursing degree, which has been developed collaboratively with practice partners, service users and students. At its heart is the recognition that nursing is an evolving profession with individuals working as part of today’s interdisciplinary healthcare teams in a wide range of settings. You will learn how to make a positive impact on the lives of adults with a diverse range of health and dependency needs, including physical and emotional care requirements, particularly addressing the needs of the ageing population. We educate our Adult Nursing students to be articulate, flexible, decision makers able to promote health and well-being, prioritise effective care and implement evidence-based nursing practice. They will work collaboratively with inter-professional teams, service users and their families, respecting their rights, choices and wishes. Key features
