This is nursing
making the difference in people’s lives
Nurses play a vital role in the health and wellbeing of patients and their families – providing help when they need it most.
Learn healthcare theory and practical skills from our team of professional nurses. You’ll also gain essential clinical experience through work placements and simulation suites.
Choose from a three-year BSc or four-year MNurse, which includes an additional Master’s year. You can also choose from a range of different nursing disciplines, including associate, adult, child, and mental health nursing.
On graduation you could secure immediate local employment as a nurse and start making a positive difference to people’s lives straightaway.
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.
