Developed in partnership with the NHS trusts, the course will see you spend 50% of your time on placements with our partner hospitals. You’ll learn the essential nursing skills needed to take effective care of adult patients in a live environment.

You’ll develop your skills in communication, care and compassion, demonstrating your dedication to making a difference in other people’s lives.

Supporting your nursing career

Our personalised approach gives you the support you need to succeed as a student. While you're an undergraduate or foundation year student, you’ll have a Personal Tutor directly related to your course. If you need support with academic writing, numeracy and library skills, we’ll be sure to provide it. Our Student Learning and Graduate Academic Assistants have studied your subject and can support you based on their own experience.

With a BSc in Nursing, you’ll become an independent and self-motivated practitioner with a range of career options. Previously, graduates have gone on to work as nurses, health coordinators, ward managers and more.

Work placements

We work in partnership with practice placement providers to ensure that the practice learning environment is conducive to meeting the individual learning needs of the student and a robust process of quality monitoring of the learning environment is in place.

Each practice area has an allocated link lecturer and practice placement information to further support clinical learning. Students are expected to work with their assigned mentor/assessor two to three times per week.

Work experience in the form of placements and internships greatly improve graduate employment prospects, and students who take part achieve excellent academic results through applying their learning in a professional setting.

Our Specialist Placement Department and London location ensure that every year our students and graduates gain prestigious placement opportunities.

Employment prospects in the nursing field are excellent with around 90% of our nursing students being in graduate level employment six months after graduation. In addition, salaries are good with our 2012 graduates averaging £36k per annum.

Nursing is a flexible and varied career which you can shape to suit your ambitions. There are many well-paid nursing roles within both the NHS and private sector. The skills you will formulate in your studies with us may support you to quickly progress up the nursing career ladder.

On successful completion of the programme students are eligible to enter the professional register for nursing. You will also receive career guidance from your professional development tutor.
