About Nursing (adult) Bsc in University of Leeds

This programme meets the NMC (2010) guiding principles underpinning pre-registration education for nurses of “fitness for purpose” and “fitness for practice”. It consists of not less than 4,600 hours of study (2,300 hours in the practice setting and 2,300 hours theoretical study), which results in 360 credits across three levels:

Part 1: 120 credits at level 1 leading to progression point one of the programme

Part 2: 120 credits at level 2 leading to progression point two of the programme

Part 3: 120 credits at level 3 enabling registration with the NMC.

Year 1 is the trans-disciplinary first year where shared and inter-professional learning takes place with other nursing and healthcare students. You will explore the core issues required to become a healthcare professional, anatomy and physiology, as well as being introduced to specific aspects of adult nursing.

Year 2 includes the study of nursing the acutely ill adult, and nursing an adult with a long-term condition. You’ll explore health promotion and health education, develop understanding of issues related to safeguarding adults, debate legal and ethical concepts related to nursing and develop the skills for evaluating the research evidence underpinning clinical practice.

In year 3 you’ll study the assessment and management of pain. You’ll examine critical thinking, decision-making skills and leadership skills and will be supported in making the transition to the role of qualified nurse. A 10,000-word research dissertation develops your ability to use, summarise and communicate research evidence and apply it to your professional practice. There is also an optional module which offers the opportunity to undertake a clinical placement abroad.

Clinical placements are an integral part of your training. Read "Study abroad and work placements" tab
