Subject

Adult nursing

If you are a caring and compassionate individual, our BN (Hons) Nursing (Adult) with Foundation Year degree will help you become a highly skilled and much sought-after graduate nurse, specialising in caring for adults across a variety of settings.

This 4 year integrated degree provides a route to nurse registration for those who do not have the required qualifications to access the BN Nursing directly. It is attractive to mature learners who may have been out of education for some years or for those who are unable to demonstrate the required skills or knowledge to start their study at level 4. It will provide the skills, knowledge and confidence to progress to the Degree in nursing.

A dynamic and interactive professional course that places the needs of patients at its centre. Throughout the course, our team of supportive and accessible lecturers will help you to realise your potential to become a caring, effective and autonomous nurse who is able to deliver and lead adult care within an ever-changing health and social care environment. 

The course enables you to develop and display the values required in modern healthcare: working together for patients; respect and dignity; commitment to quality of care; compassion and improving lives. It also addresses contemporary challenges such as the ageing population, increasingly prevalent long-term health conditions and public health. 

Drawing on the most up-to-date research and evidence, you are supported to develop not only your nursing skills, but also the graduate attributes required to succeed in the modern workplace. 

In your first year, you will be based on campus. As you progress on from your first year, your time will be split equally between learning theory on campus and applying your knowledge during placements alongside experienced professionals. You will study a range of academic core modules and field modules based on theory and practice experiences. As you progress through the course, programme content becomes increasingly complex as your knowledge grows. 

On successful completion of this 4‐year programme you'll be eligible to register with the NMC, the professional regulatory body for nurses.
