Bachelor of Nursing (Honours) - Nursing - Adult

The recently redesigned and NMC-validated curriculum incorporates the latest healthcare developments while maintaining a distinctive focus on humanisation, trauma-informed practice and professional values. Students will benefit from state-of-the-art simulation facilities at West Downs Campus, which include ward spaces, GP consultation rooms, and community settings with a range of advanced mannequins.

The programme features a strong mental wellbeing thread, innovative teaching methods (including sessions led by a drama therapist), and exposure to cutting-edge healthcare technologies. Students collaborate with students from other nursing fields in the first year, gaining valuable interdisciplinary perspectives before specialising in adult nursing.

In the second year, students have the opportunity to arrange a self-managed placement in an area of special interest – whether that’s abroad in countries like Nepal and Ghana or in specialised settings such as prisons, private clinics, and Great Ormond Street Hospital. Throughout the studies, students will also hear from diverse guest speakers, including chief nursing officers, specialists in women’s health, and individuals with lived healthcare experience.

Upon successful completion of the degree, students be eligible to apply for registration with the Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC) to practice as a nurse in the UK. Plus, as a Winchester graduate, students will be pre-approved to continue their education with a Master’s degree, subject to eligibility.
