Course summary

This three-year child nursing degree combines theory and practice in an innovative way, to focus on the care of children across a wide range of healthcare settings.

Children's nurses are able to understand the developmental needs of children from birth to transition into adult life and how this is affected by ill health. There’s an equal split between theory and practice, which is integrated throughout all our nursing courses, Each academic year is split into four terms. In term one, you will study in theory block in University followed by block in clinical practice. This pattern is repeated through the three-year programme.

Note: Child Nursing applications for multiple start dates will not be accepted.
