Subject

Adult nursing

Nurses are compassionate, committed, and a critical part of our communities, and becoming a nurse may be your lifelong ambition; whether you're coming from school, college or a work environment. However you've come to this decision, NTU is the place to be.

Adult nursing offers a unique opportunity to work with people across the lifespan. Every adult is unique and they may encounter a wide variety of health issues, and sometimes many at the same time. Our degree programme ensures that by the time you quality, you'll have the skills, knowledge and professionalism to deliver high standards of Evidence-Based Care that promotes your critical thinking, problem-solving, and compassion.

We also offer:

BSc (Hons) Nursing (Mental Health)
BSc (Hons) Nursing (Learning Disabilities)
You can also join this course by progressing from our Level 5 Nursing Associate Apprenticeship. At NTU this route is known as R2RN.

**Why study Nursing at NTU?**

- **You'll taught by a dynamic team of lecturers** who are also qualified nurses. Becoming a nurse is an exciting journey we are privileged to take you on.

- **The course is delivered 50% at University**, and 50% in a wide range of clinical practice areas.

- **Our amazing facilities** in the Health and Allied Professions Centre allow you to learn effectively and become part of the NTU Nursing community.

- **Service users and carers are involved in the development of our curriculum** and take part in face-to-face sessions.

Our nursing degree isn’t just distinguished by the amount of time you’ll spend on placement – it’s how early those placements opportunities arrive on your course. From the outset, we’ll ensure you’re in hands-on, practice-based environments, supporting local healthcare providers and putting your theoretical skills to the test. Alongside the "interprofessional" nature of our teaching – which connects you with experts from across the sector, broadening your skills and knowledge – you’ll have the perfect grounding in adult nursing.
