A career where you make a difference
Nursing allows you to make a positive impact on peoples' lives. It’s not only about caring for the individual, but also their families and the communities in which they live.
We offer five nursing programmes:
- Adult Nursing – promote health and wellbeing, support people in their recovery and empower individuals in managing their long-term conditions.
- Child Nursing – work alongside multi-professional colleagues to support and care for infants, children and young people along with their families through a variety of acute and long-term illnesses.
- Mental Health Nursing – support people with mental health conditions, providing both short-term and long-term care in clinical and community settings.
- Nursing Associate Apprenticeship – support registered nurses to deliver and evaluate hands-on care with this Foundation Degree that helps you to become a Nursing Associate.
- MNurse – combine both Bachelor’s and Master’s level study. This is an excellent choice if you’re considering specialising further or having a career in research or academia after you graduate.
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.

this is where
...my vision becomes reality
Kiran Shahzadi, BSc (Hons) Nursing (Adult)
"I was only 14 when I lost my dad to cancer. That experience steered me toward my career in healthcare. I started out working as a clinical support worker in the local hospital. I would help with admissions and other tasks. Seeing the impact that the doctors and nurses had inspired me, and I was encouraged by colleagues to take the next step and study to become a nurse."
...my kind nature flourishes
Anees Mahmood, BSc (Hons) Nursing (Adult) - Mid-Yorkshire Hospitals
"My degree has been instrumental in getting me to where I am today. You learn so much, and after qualifying, I got a job in ICU at Pinderfields Hospital where I spent four months before transferring to the Stroke and Neurology Rehab Unit at Dewsbury Hospital.
"The skills I learned, the experience I gained, and the contacts I made on the course were all instrumental in me securing my role."
...I found my path
Amelia Hoggard-Leathers, BSc (Hons) Nursing (Mental Health)
"I’ve always had an interest in Mental Health from my own experience, friends' experiences and psychology. I thought ‘you know, I’d really like a more rewarding job where I can actually give back and help people.
"I’d never worked in care and I didn’t really know what to expect, but I just thought it would be something that would challenge me and that I could actually have a long-lasting career in. It’s been the most challenging thing I’ve ever done and I’ve never worked so hard in my entire life."
...I never looked back
Rosie Mansouri, BSc (Hons) Nursing (Child)
"I wanted to be a teacher until I did a week's work experience in a hospital pediatric ward. At first, I had reservations but as soon as I stepped onto the ward I absolutely loved it.
"Learning in a safe environment gives you the confidence to go out and care for patients. For example, when giving an injection or passing a feeding tube, it's better to practice the theory and practical elements on a manikin first - you know what you're doing before you do it in real life."
