Within the University, assessment takes many forms including individual and group assignments, written and oral exams, and practical assessments. You’ll need to demonstrate knowledge and application of nursing concepts and techniques, and will develop abilities, skills and competencies in providing person-centred care. You’ll need to produce work that is both evaluative and creative and show you can conduct independent, in-depth enquiry within the discipline. You’ll need to be able to draw on a wide variety of evidence-based material such as academic journals, textbooks, policy and national health-related guidelines and be able to evaluate and critique received opinion.
