Student Nursing Times 2026 Partnership of the Year
Our nursing team were winners at the Student Nursing Times Awards 2026.
We were named Partnership of the Year for the second year running, and finalists in the Student Placement of the Year (Community Setting) award.
This award-winning partnership with the West Yorkshire Integrated Care Board celebrates the development of student-supported services that expand placement opportunities, strengthen the workforce and enhance patient care.
Our finalist recognition highlights the Community Nursing Student Supported Service Pilot. It's delivered with Airedale NHS Foundation Trust, where nursing students are embedded in community teams to gain real-world experience while increasing service capacity.
The way the course is taught is interactive and fun, and the tutors are fantastic. They are there to support you academically, and are always on hand if you need additional help or support in other areas.
Where Nursing can take you
Nursing is a rewarding career. It provides constant opportunities for professional growth, leadership development and collaborative working. Nurses often work in teams, providing care directly to patients in hospitals, operating theatres, clinics, schools and patient's homes.
As a registered nurse you'll have plenty of options to specialise in areas such as:
- forensic nurse
- prison nurse
- paediatric nurse
- occupational health nurse
- army nurse
- nutrition and fitness nurse
- mental health nurse
All our nursing courses are approved by the Nursing and Midwifery Council
This means you can apply to join the NMC register on graduation, enabling you to practise as a nurse in the UK.
Study at Dewsbury and District Hospital
The University of Bradford and Mid Yorkshire Hospitals NHS Trust have partnered to establish an off-site nursing school and degree programme at Dewsbury and District Hospital.
The school aims to boost nursing recruitment for the Trust and widen degree course participation in the local area by offering our existing pre-registration BSc (Hons) Nursing programme in Adult Nursing, based at the hospital.
