Course overview

Help children face tough times with bravery and positivity BSc (Hons) Children’s Nursing will give you the skills, confidence and professional experience needed to be an effective healthcare worker, helping you to apply the foundations of expert care in a paediatric setting. “I love being on the wards, interacting with the children and the parents. You encounter so much, both the happy and sad. It is a life experience, independent of the clinical skills you acquire.

I want to influence lives and help people grow in my community and you get a taste of that when you are on placement” Charlie Kennedy, Children’s Nursing student. You will learn from experienced nursing professionals who will help you put theory into practice, splitting your time equally between learning on campus or in clinic settings. Through our professional connections and partnerships, there is the opportunity to train with community-focused initiatives, independent and voluntary organisations, or an NHS Trust, who will host you for clinical placement portion of your degree.

This course is also available with a foundation year.
