Here's what University of Sunderland says about its Adult Nursing (Blended) course.
Unleash your potential and make a real difference – train to be a registered nurse with a university ranked in the UK top 5 for Nursing courses
AN INNOVATIVE BLENDED NURSING BACHELOR'S DEGREE THAT QUALIFIES YOU TO BECOME A REGISTERED NURSE
The extraordinary demand for nurses and nursing skills in the UK is exemplified by the current UK Government target of recruiting 50,000 additional nurses and 26,000 additional primary care workers by 2025 (gov.uk), with nursing consistently one of the most employable degree subjects in the UK and worldwide.
The huge contribution that nurses make to public healthcare is more vital today than ever before, with due recognition in 2020 from the WHO, who marked the year as The International Year of the Nurse and Midwife.
The innovative BSc (Hons) Adult Nursing (Blended) from the University of Sunderland and Health Education England (HEE) has been fully approved by the Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC). The course has been designed for individuals who want to launch a rewarding career in nursing and make a real difference to people’s lives, every day.
You will learn the knowledge and skills required of a Registered Nurse, and your learning will be directly aligned with the needs of the NHS and other healthcare employers. On successful completion of the course, you will be eligible to register with the Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC) as a Registered Nurse (Adult).

I do like Sunderland for the most part, the people are mostly nice, it's diverse and there's a wide range of shops, but I do feel like there's not nearly enough stuff here compared to other cities. The campuses are very nice, especially the media centre.

Oh boy. I've technically been at the university for three years but I'm only in my first year due to dropping out of my foundation year, then re-joining the next year. This is all due to severe mental health issues that the university have been aware of since the start but have done absolutely n...

I don't live in a university accommodation and was never shown the library so have not used this, but I will say that I've had a lot of experience with the well-being team and they're very hit or miss.
