This programme leads to a DipHE in Nursing Studies and to professional registration in either adult, child or mental health nursing. Students develop interpersonal and clinical skills, and gain a sound knowledge-base drawing from biological and social sciences. During the CFP, students undertake practice placements in a range of settings. Students will be asked to make their branch choice at the end of the first six months. The branch programmes in the second 24 months prepare students to practise in their chosen area.
Courses run alongside the practice placements in hospital and local community areas.
Our students have a range of qualifications from GCSEs, A levels, Access courses and GNVQs. The programme is also suitable for graduates in non-health related degrees. There may also be opportunities to undertake degree level studies prior to qualifying.
