Our children’s nursing degree adopts an innovative curriculum model integrating theory and practice elements, which upon successful completion; contribute to admission to the Nursing and Midwifery Council Professional Register.

A variety of teaching and learning strategies are used throughout the programme and self-directed study is encouraged to promote independent learning and the development of lifelong learning skills. The development of clinical skills is an integral part of the programme and is supported in practice placements by qualified mentors and in the excellent clinical skills laboratories by experienced lecturers. Placements are embedded into the programme to enable you to develop your clinical skills. You will experience a range of clinical settings which may require you to travel out of the local area, although within a 55 miles radius of Keele.

The programme also encompasses an innovative assessment strategy and student support is taken seriously with each student being allocated a personal tutor and having access to a variety of academic and pastoral advice services. Alongside these services a peer mentoring system is employed in order to support you through the children’s nursing degree.

With further modules or courses, you could also go on to work in various areas:

• Alternative or specialist nursing fields
• Further Education or Higher Education lecturer
• Health Visitor
• Senior positions and Management roles within healthcare
• Social Work

This is a Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC) approved programme for the Future Nurse standards. Students who successfully complete the programme may apply for NMC nursing registration.
