Course overview
Nurses perform a vital role in 21st Century healthcare, in both primary and secondary care settings, restoring and promoting health, supporting patients and their families, and profiling healthcare needs of communities. The University of Lincoln recognises the challenges facing current and future healthcare and nursing practice, offering three distinct nursing programmes specialising in adult, child, and mental health. Our student nurses played a key role during the Covid-19 pandemic.
As well as supporting hospitals and vaccination centres across Lincolnshire, their help played an integral component to the success of the University's Test and Trace Centre. We' re extremely proud of our students for their contribution and dedication. Our professionally accredited programmes enable you to become a registered nurse with the Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC).
The programmes aim to prepare you to become fit for practice in accordance with the NMC's Standards for Pre-registration Nursing Education and be eligible to register as a qualified nurse. You'll be encouraged to become a confident, critically analytical advocate of excellence in nursing practice within your respective specialisms. The School of Health and Social Care works with employers to provide employees with the opportunity to study for an undergraduate BSc (Hons) Nursing degree through an apprenticeship route, funded by the Government and your employer.
