Course summary

What this course is about

UCAS code: B751

Here's what Robert Gordon University says about its Nursing (Adult and Children and Young People) course.

The BSc Hons dual registration programme has been designed to meet local demand for nurses to be registered in two fields of practice. This is an exciting opportunity for future nurses to provide person-centred care in any combination of Adult, Children and Young People, or Mental Health Nursing.

Nurses have a key role in partnership working, caring and supporting individuals, families and communities to promote health, prevent ill-health, and enable people to improve their mental and physical wellbeing. Our links with hospitals, community, and service users ensure our course is evidence-based and meets the needs of providers and users of health and social care services. The students will be dual registered by the end of 4 years of study.

Currently union initiatives have improved in order to get students more interested so there's an uptick in performance, but generally not up to standard so far

The city is generally boring and the university is not any more lively. Whether it's the culture or the students themselves, anything interesting is usually conducted by the students privately and not by the university

University life

2nd year student

Being an international student the fees are higher and harder to pay (including fluctuations in exchange rates) and the school is usually inflexible in their understanding of this. Value for money is low in my opinion

Most of the time I have to seek support for myself and even at that, it's usually a case of me being told to do it myself

Support

2nd year student

Generally okay, could use more of each equipment/facility or a higher standard of it. Accommodation options are bad however, no real quality

Facilities

2nd year student

1 year ago

Timetabling is generally bad in my course. A lot of the classes are too early and too long, and we tend to not have classes in our own engineering building.
