BSc (Hons) Learning Disability Nursing
University of HullCottingham Road, Hull, HU6 7RX
Course overview
People with learning disabilities live, work and socialise in our communities. But they need help to do so. That’s where our graduates come in.
This three-year course will equip you with the skills and knowledge to deliver high-quality, evidence-based health care. You’ll be hands-on from day one thanks to our £28 million Health Campus, which gives you the opportunity to practise in simulated operating theatres, hospital wards, intensive care facilities and more. But we don’t just teach the theory.
You’ll spend 50% of your time on clinical placements, giving you the confidence and experience to take your place on the frontline when you graduate as a qualified registered nurse with the Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC). Discover more about health placements - learn why they matter, explore potential destinations, and hear first-hand feedback from fellow health students.
