Progression
This course will prepare you for registration with the Nursing and Midwifery Council, so you can begin a rewarding career in adult nursing.
Most of our graduates go on to work in the NHS – but others find positions in private practice, social services, schools, the prison service or choose to work overseas.
In your final year we arrange mock interviews and CV writing workshops, and your personal academic tutor will support with career planning. We also invite employers in the region on to campus to meet you and discuss career opportunities. Our excellent reputation in the midlands region means that most of our graduates go on to work for local NHS trusts, often securing a job before they graduate.
Opportunities
Once you’ve qualified as an adult nurse, you could choose to specialise in a certain field such as operating theatres, drug rehabilitation, care for the elderly or intensive care.
With experience you could become a nursing sister, ward manager, team leader, or move into a management role like matron or director of nursing.
With future qualifications you could become an advanced nurse practitioner, clinical nurse specialist or nurse consultant. Or you may want to move into public health, teaching or clinical research. An adult nursing degree opens up lots of possibilities.
Course Assessment
Teaching is a mix of interactive seminars, lectures, one-to-one tutorials and practical skills sessions. Your assessments will help prepare you for a career as a nurse, and include observations of professional skills, writing reflective essays, presenting, group discussions and creating a care plan.
