Bachelor of Science - Nursing with Registration - Adult Nursing (Honours)

Combine theory with clinical experience and prepare for the key roles that adult nurses play across the health care sector.

Adult nurses play crucial roles in healthcare settings by restoring and promoting health, supporting patients and their families, and responding to the varied healthcare needs of individual patients or communities.

Career opportunities are varied, with registered nurses working for the NHS or the private sector, for medical charities, voluntary organisations, in community care or the education sector. As well as prospects in the UK, global career opportunities are a very real option (subject to country specific criteria).

During this course – thanks to strong links with service providers across the region – we are able to offer a range of placement opportunities embedded within all three years of the course.

In addition, you will study a range of topics including; Influences on Wellbeing, Foundations of Field of Practice, Patient Journey – Primary care, Acute care and Community Care, Managing complexities in Nursing practice and Consolidating Clinical Care and Professional Practice.
