Bachelor of Science (Honours) - Nursing (Adult) (B740)

This three-year full-time degree in Nursing leads to a professional nursing qualification and eligibility to register with the Nursing and Midwifery Council.

This is a practical, patient-centred course with equal amounts of theory and clinical practice which enables students to experience different aspects of healthcare.

Spanning the rural Yorkshire Dales to inner city districts, no other area of the UK offers the rich diversity of clinical experience available through the University and its partner Trusts.

Throughout their studies, students will be taught by a team of professional nurses supported by other staff at the Faculty of Health Studies, and have access to a suite of purpose-built practice simulation suites, which allows students to be taught and to practise their core clinical skills, from bed making, moving patients and taking blood pressure to giving injections, ward rounds and dispensing medication, and simulation of the seriously ill person using the interactive models.

The clinical wards house a variety of equipment which students would normally find in clinical practice.

Following graduation and registration, nurses are expected to continue to develop their knowledge and skills, and the University of Bradford offers a variety of short courses and postgraduate study options which allow nurses to specialise in areas of interest.

The University of Bradford now accepts NVQ Level 3 in any subject - students must currently be working in a health environment as a healthcare assistant, support worker or carer with 2 years’ work experience.
