COURSE CURRICULUM

This adult nursing degree combines academic learning with professional practice to prepare students for a career in healthcare. In the first year, students focus on the foundations of health and wellbeing, promoting health, preventing illness, and developing essential communication skills for adult care settings. They begin professional practice in adult nursing, building core clinical skills, and develop academic and professional competencies to support their growth throughout the program. The second year deepens this knowledge, with modules focused on developing health and wellbeing, integrated adult nursing care, and advancing practice through evidence-based approaches. Students gain a greater understanding of complex patient needs, multidisciplinary teamwork, and the application of research to clinical practice. The third year emphasizes leadership, decision-making, and innovation in nursing, preparing students to coordinate and manage adult nursing care effectively. Modules cover inter-professional education, enhancing health and social care, and applying imaginative approaches to evidence-based practice. Students also refine their clinical decision-making skills, leading and managing care, and are assessed on essential numeracy skills required for safe and effective practice. Throughout the course, hands-on experience in clinical placements ensures that graduates emerge as competent, confident, and compassionate practitioners, ready to provide high-quality adult nursing care across diverse healthcare environments while supporting patients’ health and wellbeing.
