Nursing (Blended Learning) Adult BSc(Hons)

Whether you’d like to provide care for adults in community or acute settings, this innovative blended learning nursing degree is designed to provide a great foundation for your future career and help you make a difference to people’s day-to-day lives. This course has been designed for those who would like to become a nurse and are located within the North East, Yorkshire and the Humber, Cheshire and Merseyside, North West, Cumbria or North Lincolnshire. If you are located outside these areas, please visit Health Education England for information on your nearest course provider.

This course provides a flexible way to study the theoretical aspects of nursing, using mainly digital technologies and includes practical, hands-on experience. You’ll have the chance to learn flexibly around life commitments; you’ll be required to attend campus for a maximum of 20 days per year of the course. This provides the opportunity for you to apply your skills in a safe and controlled environment on our nursing wards, using simulation.

You’ll also attend occupational health sessions and mandatory training, and you’ll undertake practice placements across the NHS and healthcare organisations in a setting close to home. Regulated by the Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC), with strong partnerships with NHS Trusts, private and voluntary organisations, you’ll learn and be supported by experienced lecturers, practice supervisors and assessors, and those who know what it’s like to be an adult nurse. Clinical placements throughout the course, via a variety of settings, will help you hone the skills you develop on campus.

You’ll learn online through seminars and group work, and have the opportunity to become part of an online community where you can showcase your work, collaborate with peers, and establish relationships with tutors. You’ll also learn through independent, self-directed study, developing confidence in your self- discipline and organisational skills.
