Nursing Studies (Top-Up)

Our Nursing Studies (Top-Up) course is a full-time one-year course that enables overseas internationally registered nurses, who hold a Level 5 diploma qualification, to 'top-up' and achieve a prestigious UK undergraduate honours degree. With a focus on UK healthcare delivery, the course will enhance your clinical, evidence-based practice, management and leadership skills.

The course is delivered from our West London campus, enabling you to be immersed in UK culture, access our state-of-the-art learning facilities and network with students from different countries.

Completion of this course will enhance your continuing professional development and career opportunities. Please note that it does not provide eligibility to apply to register with the NMC as a nurse.

If you are currently registered with the NMC as a nurse, employed in the UK and wishing to top up to an honours degree, you should access our BSc (Hons) Clinical Practice (Level 6 only).

What you'll study

The course modules have been devised to enhance your clinical knowledge in relation to both physical and mental health and to further your understanding of the evidence base which informs care delivery. They will also develop your management and leadership skills and provide an opportunity to gain an understanding of UK healthcare policy.

Our state-of-the-art simulation centre will enable you to apply your classroom-based learning within a real-world simulated setting. Guided reflection will promote the application of your learning to your role as a registered nurse in your home country. Please note that there are no placements on this course.
