Course summary

Course overview

Please note this course is available for April 2025

Our blended learning combines 80% online study with 20% face-to-face blocks. You'll have weekly online sessions and practical KIT days. This provides flexibility to fit around other commitments.

Nursing is one of the most rewarding careers you can choose. You'll deliver care to adults who need immediate help and support in hospitals or community settings. We offer a choice of in-person or blended learning delivery.

Promoting good health and educating people to care for themselves, and others, is a key focus for adult nurses. Whether your patients are in hospital, care homes or being nursed at home.

Registered Nurses provide professional care for patients in many settings. Your experiences throughout the course will prepare you for registration. During the course, you'll work with a range of adults. Some will have physical problems, while others will have mental health problems that call for excellent listening skills as well as your clinical knowledge.

Why study with us

  • Our blended learning delivery option provides the flexibility to balance study with your other commitments, as 80% of the course is delivered online.

  • As a UK student on this programme, you'll be eligible for a £5,000 NHS Learning Support Fund. This doesn’t have to be paid back after finishing your degree.

  • The curriculum addresses National Benchmarks and is split between 50% theoretical study and 50% practical clinical experience.

What you'll do

  • You’ll undertake practical work experience placements, as well as spend time developing practical skills in our clinical skills labs using clinical patient simulators (manikins) and simulation model trainers.

  • You'll have the option to complete the course in-person or via our blended learning delivery option. Blended learning is designed with flexibility in mind, catering to students who may struggle to attend campus regularly due to other commitments.

  • For clinical placement experiences, you’ll be allocated to one of several NHS Trusts within the Central Lancashire region as your base. Opportunities also exist for an international experience by taking advantage of our extensive links in Europe and overseas.
