Course summary

Adult nurses work in hospitals and the community, offering support, education, and care to adults and their families and carers. This challenging yet highly rewarding career allows you to engage with patients across the full spectrum of health and illness. Your first year will be taught at Bury College's Health and Digital Centre. For your second and third years, you will continue your studies at our Frederick Road campus in Salford. On this course, you will experience the realities of contemporary 24-hour service provision. 50% of your studies will be spent in clinical settings within hospitals and the community, including placements in the NHS and independent sectors such as prisons. These placements provide a well-supported environment where you will work alongside qualified practice assessors and supervisors, gaining invaluable practical experience and developing your professional skills. At the University, you will be welcomed into a relaxed and friendly learning environment, with access to a range of facilities including formal teaching, group and one-to-one sessions, a comfortable learning space, and state-of-the-art clinical setups with simulators for child, infant, and adult care. Upon successful completion of the course, you will obtain a degree that leads to registration as a qualified nurse with the Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC).
