Nursing (Adult) - BSc (Hons)

Canterbury Christ Church University

Your course will start with exploring the role of the nurse in contemporary healthcare and the fundamentals of compassionate person-centred nursing practice. Throughout the first year you will study with nursing students from the other fields of nursing, taking part in simulated practice learning and undertake clinical practice placements. Years two and three will focus on your chosen field and will ensure you become a professional and competent newly qualified nurse. From day one, you'll be immersed in nursing practice and supported by academics and professionals with vast experience. Practice placements and simulation will be an integral part of your experience, and you will be supported by a range of academic staff passionate about nursing. You will be learning in state-of-the-art simulation facilities and using the latest virtual reality technology to practice nursing in a safe and supportive environment. From working with experts by experience to working in acute care, our Adult Nursing degree will prepare you for a challenging, yet the most rewarding, career. What’s more, you'll gain essential work experience whilst studying adult nursing at university, enhancing your skills and employability upon graduation.
