Course content

BSc Adult Nursing is a three-year course leading to eligibility for registration as an Adult nurse with the Nursing & Midwifery Council (NMC).

Nurses play a vital role in healthcare. As healthcare is changing in the UK and around the world, the role of nurses is changing too. Nurses are occupying more and more senior positions across the healthcare sector – in management, policymaking, research and education. Nurses are also at the heart of patient care everywhere, from ultra-modern super hospitals, to caring for the vulnerable at home, to providing critical support in refugee camps or countries affected by natural disasters.

Our aim is for Exeter nurses to be outstanding in all areas of nursing, and healthcare more widely. We are committed to developing the future of nursing, and our vision is reflected in the structure and content of this programme.

The programme is structured around Exeter’s unique ‘seven pillars’ of nursing:

Patient and public involvement;
Fundamental essentials of nursing care;
Evidence for practice;
No health without mental health;
Leadership and management of healthcare;
Global health;
Ethics and professionalism.

Your future

After you graduate, you’ll be able to register with the Nursing and Midwifery Council and thereby gain employment as a registered nurse in health provider organisations such as NHS Trusts.

A nursing degree is a passport to an interesting job and a fulfilling career. As you gain experience, you could advance your career by specialising in a branch of adult nursing, progress to more senior nursing posts or move into education or research.
