Buckinghamshire New University has a long history of training people in the healthcare sector and giving them the skills and practice-based experience they need to provide excellent patient care. There is a real demand for nurses and midwives around the country – if you have the compassion, care and courage needed, a degree in these areas will teach you everything you need to know to kickstart your career.

Across our courses, there is a great balance between theory and practice which we think gives you the best, cohesive learning experience. You’ll benefit from highly skilled lecturers and technicians that bring a wealth of clinical expertise in their teaching.

We recognise simulation as an essential part in disseminating the required knowledge, skills and behaviours for student learning, so all of our campuses come with their own state-of-the-art simulation facilities. Within this style of learning, real-time evolving clinical situations can be simulated, repeated and evaluated using reflection and debriefing to ensure you’re prepared for practice.

When it comes to clinical placements, we work with various NHS Trusts, as well as private and independent businesses, to give our students real world experience as part of their course. Not only does this allow you to put learning into practice, but it also ensures you’re highly employable upon graduation.

Throughout your course, you will be supported by personal tutors, course leaders, and practice visitors. They will help you to develop your confidence, build your knowledge and make informed decisions about practical work. Most other universities don’t offer support through practice visitors whilst you’re on clinical placement, but we think it’s vital for you to maintain a close link with us during this time.

Once you complete this course, you’ll be able to join as a Registered Nurse or Midwife with the Nursing & Midwifery Council (NMC), which enables you to practice in the UK.
