The BSc (Hons) Adult Nursing degree prepares you for a career caring for adults of all ages who have suffered accidents and been injured, acquired infections and developed diseases or have a range of healthcare needs. As an adult nurse you need to be committed and dedicated with the willingness to give time to others with care, empathy and compassion.

This range of placements will help you develop the skills and confidence to deal with the many different environments Adult Nurses work in. Choosing to study in London also means that you will gain experience working with the diverse range of patients and conditions treated within the capital.
