Subject

Adult nursing

Qualify as a registered nurse on this approved course that gives you hands-on experience of this caring profession.

Adult nursing is what the NHS is built on. The sector is huge, meaning you can choose from a large variety of specialisms, in hospital, GP practices or in the community. You’ll develop the confidence, skills and experience you’ll need to care for a wide range of health needs as a qualified registered nurse.
And you’ll benefit from our hands-on approach to learning, spending half your time on our award-winning campus and the other half in placement, working with real patients, supported by experienced healthcare professionals.

**Why study at Hull?**

• **Cutting-edge facilities**: We’ve invested £28 million to create state-of-the-art facilities on our health campus. The Allam Medical Building gives you the chance to get practical experience in our purpose-built modern simulation hospital ward, operating theatre and critical care room.
• **Extra funding**: Students studying this course will receive a payment of at least £5,000 a year. This doesn't need to be paid back and is in addition to any financial support received through your student loan.
• **Get fully qualified**: The Adult Nursing degree is a fully approved nursing qualification, recognised by the NMC (Nursing and Midwifery Council). You’ll be able to register as a qualified registered nurse on graduating.

**Where could this take me?**

As you’d expect from a vocational degree like nursing, most of our adult nursing graduates go on to nursing careers in the NHS. They work with adults across a varied range of specialisms.

Our degree prepares you to confidently and successfully make the leap into your chosen career. Others choose careers in private practice, nursing overseas or in the adult welfare sector.
