BSc (Hons) Adult Nursing

From our births to our deaths, during our lifetime we will all need care at some point. Nurses are the foundation of our NHS, hospitals, clinics and care units. If you are a compassionate and empathetic person seeking a profession where your actions can profoundly impact individuals during their most vulnerable moments, then our BSc (Hons) Adult Nursing is for you. Upon successful completion of the degree, you’ll be eligible to register with the Nursing & Midwifery Council (NMC).

Becoming an Adult Nurse is a deeply personal and rewarding choice. As a qualified nurse you’ll have the opportunity to grow and take on a range of specialties and roles, providing opportunities for career advancement.

From emergency care, district nursing, operating theatres, surgical wards to caring for vulnerable and older people to developing leadership skills, no day is the same. You’ll be continually learning and evolving in your role.

Being a nurse is a profession that can see you working worldwide, and the impact and contribution of nurses is recognised and needed both nationally and internationally.

During your time on the BSc nursing course, you'll be working alongside experienced health care professionals who will help you to become a caring, confident, competent and practice-ready nurse.

We’ll help develop, encourage and nurture you throughout your studies. You’ll be supported in gaining the skills and knowledge you need to meet and manage the holistic, person-centred care needs of individuals across the lifespan in relation to the health-illness spectrum.

You’ll learn how to perform a range of nursing skills with proficiency, predicated on contemporary knowledge and the understanding of best practice. As well as this you’ll be taught how to assess and review mental, physical, cognitive, behavioural, spiritual and social needs to identify the priorities and requirements for evidence-based nursing interventions and support.
