You’ll develop professional skills and play an important role in people’s lives, improving outcomes, delivering quality healthcare and helping people with learning disabilities to live independently and well. Why study at Hull?Make a difference: While all nursing ranks highly in terms of job satisfaction, there’s something special about the opportunities you get on this course. You’ll make a significant difference to the lives of learning-disabled people, helping them reach their full potential and lead truly fulfilling lives. • Get £6,000 cash or more per year: As a nursing student, you can apply for the NHS Learning Support Fund, which is worth at least £5,000 a year.
