Nursing really is a job for life. As an adult nurse, you’ll make a difference to many people’s lives, including your own.
As a registered nurse you’ll have the choice of a wide range of roles. You may choose to become a community professional and work in patients’ homes, clinic, GP surgeries or nursing homes. Or you may want to work as a nursing specialist or consultant within a hospital. Or you could take your education further still, conduct research or go into healthcare management.
Our adult nursing course is approved by the UK Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC), meaning you’ll be eligible to apply for registration with them when you graduate. We work with employers to make sure you gain the knowledge, skills and abilities they need. They help us review what we teach and how we teach it – and they offer hands-on, practical opportunities to learn through your placements.
99% of our graduates were employed six months after completing their degree, with many getting job offers from their placement areas.
"If you ask me now why I continue to adore my degree as I approach its completion, it is because of the wide variety of opportunities there is for me out there."
