Nursing (Adult)

Qualify as a registered nurse on this approved course that gives you hands-on experience of this caring profession.

Adult nursing is what the NHS is built on. The sector is huge, meaning you can choose from a large variety of specialisms, in hospital, GP practices or in the community. You’ll develop the confidence, skills and experience you’ll need to care for a wide range of health needs as a qualified registered nurse.
And you’ll benefit from our hands-on approach to learning, spending half your time on our award-winning campus and the other half in placement, working with real patients, supported by experienced healthcare professionals.
