Keen to step into a rewarding career by providing care for adults in community or acute settings? If so, this innovative Nursing (Adult) BSc(Hons) degree is for you. It’s been designed to provide a great foundation for your future career and help you make a real difference to the lives of others. On this course, you’ll have the opportunity to gain key clinical skills and engage in simulation-based learning within a safe environment. You’ll utilise human patient simulators to enhance your confidence, competence and understanding of patient care, and undertake clinical placements in various settings, throughout the NHS, as well as the voluntary and private sectors. Throughout the course, you’ll learn the fundamentals of providing nursing care, progressing to understand complex needs, and leadership and management. You'll develop a range of skills, including communication and decision-making, whilst maintaining professional values.

You’ll learn how to respond to the physical, cognitive, and mental health care needs of patients and service users. You’ll build your confidence to become a competent, caring, and compassionate nurse, being taught by (and receiving support from) experienced lecturers, practice supervisors and assessors who know what it’s like to be an adult nurse. You’ll hear experiences and viewpoints from service users and carers, who are part of the Public Partnership Group – and in 2024, the University’s new Daphne Steele Building will open on the site of the National Health Innovation campus. This allows our Adult Nursing students to benefit from specialist, clinical teaching facilities and world-leading research facilities. After successfully completing the course, you could apply to register with the NMC and work as a registered nurse for adults in various settings.

This course is regulated by the Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC) and has strong partnerships with NHS Trusts and private and voluntary organisations.

Huddersfield’s vibrant and friendly campus is a great place from which to study, while the town itself offers lots to see and do, with good transport links in and around the area.

Successful completion of our Health Foundation Pathway will equip you with the foundation knowledge to study Adult Nursing.
