Accredited by the Nursing & Midwifery Council, this course blends theory with real-world experience to help you develop the knowledge, skills and attitudes required to register and practice as a registered adult nurse.

Person-centred care

This challenging but life-changing course offers the opportunity for you to develop into a compassionate, knowledgeable, competent, safe and critical thinking practitioner. Our course is designed to prepare you to become a graduate nurse capable of delivering and leading high-quality, person-centred care in a wide variety of healthcare settings. We aim to provide the foundation for you to achieve an advanced practice role in the future by ensuring you have the necessary knowledge and skills to engage in further learning.

A wide variety of learning opportunities are provided in both practice and university settings. You will learn from experienced and knowledgeable registered nurses and other healthcare practitioners through a range of teaching and learning approaches such as lectures, seminars, small group activities and practice placements. Our skills suites, newly built in 2020, will allow you to learn and practice various nursing procedures in a safe and controlled setting. Half of your course will be spent in practice placements where you will gain practical nursing experience in exciting and diverse locations, from NHS hospitals to people's own homes, private clinics to community nursing teams. Each year we organise a Careers Fair with numerous healthcare exhibitors in attendance, helping you to gain employment as a registered nurse on completion of the course. We are particularly proud of the academic support we provide to our students and our new faculty building which is an ideal place to study and learn.

Apprenticeship

We also offer a nursing degree apprenticeship route in adult nursing. Prospective apprentices should either be employed in a healthcare role and have the support of their employer, or have made an application to a healthcare provider’s apprenticeship vacancy.
