Nursing (Adult) BSc (Hons)
Oxford Brookes University
Key Course Facts
Course Description
Adult nurses are in high demand in the UK, and need to demonstrate competence in meeting the physical and psychological needs of patients across their adult lifespan.
As healthcare delivery is changing, the ability to work flexibly with other professionals in health and social care is essential. As a student nurse on the Adult Nursing programme, you will therefore gain a range of practice experiences in variety of settings.
In line with the new Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC) Future Nurse Standards (2018), our Adult Nursing curriculum has recently been re-developed. At our recent approval event (March 2020) we were commended by the NMC for our excellent partnership working with placement organisations and for the inclusion of a strong public health theme throughout the curriculum.
