Adult nurses care for adults of all ages in both acute and long-term care. You will have lots of opportunities for practice learning experiences that reflect this.

You will also have the chance to undertake civic engagement placement learning opportunities, such as working with charities. This wide range of experience will give you vital skills in assessing, planning, delivering and evaluating patient care and needs.

Our adult nursing degree combines practice with theory, and there is lots of support available to help you achieve your potential and progress through your course successfully. In each academic year, you will undertake five theory assessments: one for each module, and one practice module. We use a variety of authentic assessment methods that reflect real-world practice, such as simulated patient conversations and clinical skills tests.
