Nursing (Adult) BSc (Hons)

As an adult nurse you could work in an NHS hospital, GP surgery, health centre, school, client's home or another healthcare setting.

At Worcester we have an excellent reputation for training registered nurses. Our BSc (Hons) Nursing course offers a comprehensive and diverse curriculum that prepares you for the emotional, psychological, and practical demands of the profession. You'll learn to become an articulate, flexible, decision maker who is able to promote health and well-being, prioritise effective care and implement evidence-based nursing practice.

You can study this course full?time or part?time, giving you the flexibility to fit your learning around work or personal commitments. Lecturers get to know your strengths and where you can develop, offering personalised support and feedback throughout your course. When you start, you’ll also be assigned a Personal Academic Tutor. Usually this is one of the people teaching on your course and they typically remain with you throughout your adult nursing degree.

You’ll learn alongside students from other healthcare courses, helping you understand how professionals work together to care for patients. This helps you understand the roles and responsibilities of different professionals and prepares you for collaborative practice in real-world healthcare settings.

Alongside seminars, lectures and one-to-one tutorials you’ll also have lots of skills session to prepare you for placement. These hands-on sessions take place in our simulation suites, which replicate the hospital and community facilities you’ll be working in when you graduate. You’ll practice different techniques and decision making scenarios with a range of simulation manikins, and learn about person-centred care with real service users and experienced nurses.
