Adult nursing specialises in caring for and supporting vulnerable adults in a variety of settings, including hospital, community and the independent and voluntary sectors. Our undergraduate courses have been designed, developed and are delivered to recognise the core values of the NHS and the required standards of our accrediting body, the Nursing and Midwifery Council. Nursing is a challenging profession, both mentally and physically, which carries a great deal of responsibility. Adult nurses care for people across the lifespan including young adults and others with acute and long-term illnesses. They work as part of a multi-disciplinary team alongside doctors, physiotherapists, anaesthetists, pharmacists, dieticians and many others.

In Year One, you will be introduced to key concepts of health and nursing practice, using a wide range of teaching and assessment modes. Theoretical learning will both inform practice and support practice-based learning enhancing your understanding of professional matters. There will also be the opportunity to choose an elective placement.
In Year Two, you will extend your understanding and develop a critical approach to core areas of nursing theory and practice. We will explore the assessment and management of acutely unwell individuals, as well as exploring chronic health conditions and their impact in individuals and tenable you to gain wider knowledge of diversity across the health and social care spectrum.
In Year Three, you will apply the knowledge gained from Year One and Two. The focus will be on developing critical, autonomous and accountable professional nurses for practice, who will lead and deliver person-centred evidence-based care.
