Modules
The first year focuses on the foundations for nursing and considers the psychological, social and biological factors influencing health. Students also undertake practice placements.
In the second year, students focus on person-centred care and explore this theme in the context of acute and long-term care. Students can also pursue specific clinical interests on a two-week elective practice placement in addition to course clinical placements.
In the final year, the emphasis is on leading and managing in professional practice. Students undertake a dissertation. As part of the clinical placement experience, students spend the final 450 hours of the course in practice and have a placement base and opportunities to identify practice experiences with their practice and academic assessors.
Assessment methods
Students are assessed using a variety of methods, depending on module choices:
- Practice Assessment Document (PAD): used to demonstrate achievement of practice competencies and also to record the number of hours of practice experience
- Written assignments, including essays: these may take the form of care studies.
- Written examinations.
- Objective Structured Clinical Examination (OSCEs): practical skills assessments.
- Dissertation: this final project enables students to choose a relevant topic of interest and demonstrate an in depth knowledge of this.
