Bachelor of Science (Honours) - Nursing/Registered Nurse: Adult Nursing (B700)

The course is designed to give students the professional and academic qualifications they need to register with the Nursing and Midwifery Council and excel as a practicing nurse.

This degree will enable students to hit the ground running to work as an adult nurse in a variety of settings including hospitals, GP surgeries, hospices, nursing homes, the armed forces and many more.

Students will divide their time between academic study and practice-based placements.
