What this course is about
UCAS code: B750
Here's what University of Stirling says about its Nursing (Adult - Honours) course.
Adult nursing is a challenging and rewarding profession that offers a wide range of roles caring for people and promoting health.
Stirling is a superb place for you to learn the skills of modern nursing – which are valued around the world. Our course is approved by the Nursing and Midwifery Council, and has also received multiple commendations.
Nursing is a dynamic profession, and we’ll give you the education and confidence necessary to fulfil your role in the healthcare teams of tomorrow. As you study, you’ll learn how to work with a range of multi-disciplinary professionals, groups and individuals to provide care and promote health. Our course is based on a philosophy that our graduates will develop values, integrity and resilience to become socially reflective practitioners who will provide services based on excellence, compassion, safety and respect.
You’ll be allocated a personal tutor who will be a source of guidance, information and support during your studies. Whilst undertaking practice learning experiences, you’re also allocated an academic assessor, a practice assessor and a supervisor who will all facilitate and support your learning in practice.
We’ll inspire and challenge you, so that you leave us as a confident and capable practitioner - ready to join a health and social care team upon graduation.
BSc (Hons) Nursing students follow the same programme structure as the BSc Nursing for Years 1-3. After that point, Honours students carry out an additional placement module with the opportunity to study overseas.
In their final year, Honours students complete additional modules, including a dissertation and achieve registration and their Honours degree at the end of Year 4.

Throughout most of my time a lot was unavailable. Now, things have improved and there are a lot of resources for learning like the library, the atrium has improved with seating availability and food. The accommodation was very good, but expensive.

It’s ok, I got used to a lot of aspects and learned to enjoy being here with time. It was quite easy to stay isolated for the first couple of years, especially during covid, and when there was a lot of construction going on and the common spaces were not what they are now, so I feel like I missed ou...

The university is very pretty and has great paths around the loch with lots of wildlife to see. The sports centre is amazing with a big gym and lots of different sports teams to join.

University of Stirling open days
Are you thinking of applying to this university?
Before you do, it's a good idea to go to an open day. You can have a good look around campus, getting a better idea of what it's like to study there. You'll meet current students and staff and get the chance to ask them questions.
Universities will list upcoming open days on their websites. Most will also have virtual open days; these are a great alternative if you really can't get there in person. For tips on preparing for open days, check the advice section here on The Uni Guide.
