Lecturers get to know your strengths and where you can develop, offering personalised support and feedback throughout your course.When you start, you’ll also be assigned a Personal Academic Tutor. Usually this is one of the people teaching on your course and they typically remain with you throughout your adult nursing degree.Alongside seminars, lectures and one-to-one tutorials you’ll also have lots of skills session to prepare you for placement. These hands-on sessions take place in our simulation suites, which replicate the hospital and community facilities you’ll be working in when you graduate. You’ll practice different techniques and decision making scenarios with a range of simulation manikins, and learn about person-centred care with real service users and experienced nurses.
PlacementsOur aim is to arrange placements and visits to a diverse range of settings during your three years on the course, so you’ll care for a range of people, in lots of different environments.

Your placements run in blocks across the year, normally with experiences in at least two different placement settings each year.While out on placement you’ll learn from experienced nurses and have lots of support from your tutors. These practical experiences, in combination with your time on campus, prepare you to be a skilled, compassionate and confident adult nurse.
