Teaching

Because hospitals run 24/7, so do nurses and this is reflected in our teaching.

You will work 40 hours a week, with shifts in your hospital and community placements. This may involve significant travel to get to some placements. If you are entitled to the SAAS student nurse bursary, you will be able to claim back travel expenses subject to conditions. If you are not entitled to the bursary, you are expected to pay for your own travel. You can apply for a card to access the Young Persons’ (Under 22s) Free Bus Travel Scheme

The academic year for nurses is longer than other courses. It is 45 weeks long and annual leave will be built into your programme instead of a summer break.

A typical week is made up of time spent in lectures, clinical skills centre, small tutorials and private study.

You will work together with students from all three fields of nursing and learn through a variety of methods including case-based learning, evidence-based learning, inter-professional education and clinical skills simulation.

Assessment

Assessment methods include portfolio development, essays, exams and objective structured clinical examination.

For the MSc version of this course you will complete a dissertation on a topic of your choosing during Level 3.

You will be supported in practice by a practice supervisor. Practice placement performance is assessed by a registered nurse assigned as your practice assessor. Both of these people will work alongside you during your placements.

Modules

You’ll take Level 5 modules during your 3rd year of study, this allows you to graduate with an MSc qualification.
