About this course
This nursing degree will enable you to support the physical and mental health of people with learning disabilities.
You’ll learn through a mixture of teaching and hands-on practice, mentored by experienced practitioners. Your time will be split equally between studying in our modern, well-equipped medical campus and on placement in the community.
You’ll develop professional skills and play an important role in people’s lives, improving outcomes, delivering quality healthcare and helping people with learning disabilities to live independently and well.
**Why study at Hull?**
• **Make a difference**: While all nursing ranks highly in terms of job satisfaction, there’s something special about the opportunities you get on this course. You’ll make a significant difference to the lives of learning-disabled people, helping them reach their full potential and lead truly fulfilling lives.
• **Get £6,000 cash or more per year**: As a nursing student, you can apply for the NHS Learning Support Fund, which is worth at least £5,000 a year. Studying this course also entitles you to at least a further £1,000 a year, as a Specialist Subject Payment. None of this financial support will have to be paid back.
• **The teaching of the future, today**: At Hull, we’re at the forefront of modern nursing. From our £28 million pound investment in our cutting-edge learning facilities to our forward-thinking nursing programmes, we keep you ahead of the game.
**Where could this take you?**
On graduating, you’ll be able to register with the NMC (Nursing and Midwifery Council) as a registered nurse. This opens opportunities to work as a qualified learning disability nurse. There are plenty of career opportunities within the NHS, which is where most of our graduates work.
You could also work in education, residential or private homes, and within other care or treatment services. Wherever you choose, you’ll be helping improve the lives of people with learning disabilities.
