Course summary
Northumbria University has an established reputation for excellence and innovation in nursing education.
Northumbrias Nursing learning experience
You will study partially at our Coach Lane Campus and partially on placement, with both strands running alongside each other to give you an integrated approach to theory and practice. You will study within the standard university semester system, allowing time during the Easter and summer breaks for additional projects and internships – or simply a well-earned rest.
This programme will equip you to be curious, creative and collaborative in your care. It will allow your compassion to thrive within an evidence-based approach, and it will enable you to make a genuine impact on the health and wellbeing of your clients and patients.
How does the Adult Nursing course help with employability?
The BSc Nursing Science (Adult) degree will allow you to build your experience in a caring role, and graduate with NMC Registration. Studying within the requirements of the new NMC standards means that you will have the ability to demonstrate critical thinking skills in relation to complex healthcare issues and the health and wellbeing of adult patients.
How will my BSc (Hons) Nursing Science degree provide me with the skills needed for my career?
This course is vocational, leading directly to registration with the Nursing and Midwifery Council, under the new Standards, which will allow you to start and quickly progress in your nursing career.
The NMCs ‘Future Nurse programme seeks to drive forward changes in the profession, and we have embedded research, leadership and advanced practice strands throughout the course to equip you to play a key role in those future developments. The focus on fitness for practice and employment in a nursing environment is a core throughout the programme, culminating in your Leadership and Management Internship in your final year.
You will graduate as an accountable professional who has the knowledge and skills to promote health and prevent ill health assess, plan, provide, co-ordinate and evaluate care lead and manage nursing care and work in teams and improve safety and quality of care.
At Northumbria we have long-standing strong relationships with our partner NHS Trusts and private sector healthcare providers. We have developed this course in close collaboration with them as well as with a wide range of experts by experience. This will ensure that the course prepares you for practice in exactly the way employers are seeking, so that you benefit from our consistently high employment rates.
