Our courses are relevant to the health and social care sector

We work with employers in the health and social care sector to make sure our courses are relevant to their workforce. Many of our lecturers are also working in clinical practice and are involved with applied research, so they are always up to date and can really help you put the theory into practice using their own examples.

Nursing is a highly respected profession and there are lots of career opportunities, as we've spent the time building up a strong relationship with the NHS and other clinical environments. Our courses will keep you moving forward, at all stages of your career especially as they are relevant and up to date with current practice. You can also benefit from interdisciplinary learning, with other allied health professionals such as occupational therapists and radiographers.

You can have the option to study full time or part time, and many of our courses have step-on step-off options, so they'll really fit in with your lifestyle.
