Bachelor of Science (Honours) - Nursing (Adult) with NMC Registration

The Nursing and Midwifery Council introduced new national educational standards – Future Nurse Standards of Proficiency for registered Nurses in 2018. The curriculum from September 2021 onwards, is based on these standards for nurse education.

Adult nurses play crucial roles in healthcare settings by restoring and promoting health, supporting patients and their families, and responding to the varied healthcare needs of individual patients or communities.

During this course – thanks to strong links with service providers across the region – De Montfort University is able to offer a range of placement opportunities embedded within all three years of the course.

Students will benefit from shared learning opportunities with students from the other fields of nursing practice, but will also engage in field of practice specific learning opportunities throughout the programme, to ensure that students develop their identity, knowledge and skills within the adult nursing field of practice.

Key Features: • The programme is accredited by the Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC) and upon graduation of the programme, students will be eligible to register with the NMC. • Graduates are eligible to apply for registration, and registered nurses can start on a salary of more than £25,655 (NHS pay scales 2020/21). • Students will study in De Montfort University's' purpose-built facilities which comprise clinical skills suites, a moving and handling area, and a cardiopulmonary resuscitation room– allowing students to apply theory to practice in a safe environment. • De Montfort University's strong links with local health and social care providers allow students to experience real-world situations through clinical placements embedded in the course. • Students have an opportunity to gain international experience as part of their studies with De Montfort University's Global programme. De Montfort University's students have taken part in healthcare programmes in Peru, improved the health of communities in India and examined the social and health inequalities faced by specific populations in the US. • DE Montfort University has more than 50 years of teaching experience, enabling them to deliver high-quality professional education to their diverse studentship.
