Study Nursing Degrees

Nurses are an integral part of healthcare, be it private or state-funded. Without nurses, the healthcare systems would be considerably less efficient and caring. They are focused on caring for individuals and their families, as well as the wider communities, in order to attain, maintain or recover health and quality of life. Nurses work alongside the doctors, midwives and medical practitioners to ensure that every patients needs are being met, providing care before, during, and after any procedures.

The content of an undergraduate degree will depend on what type of nursing course you choose to study. You will have options to study adult nursing, children's and young people's nursing and mental health nursing, among others. Whichever degree course you choose, you will be given a foundation knowledge of nursing, along with many opportunities to develop your nursing skills. A nursing degree will be focused on both the theory and practical application of your knowledge, making sure that you are fully prepared to enter the workplace after successfully completing your degree.

Your course will be delivered in a mixture of modes. These will include lectures and seminars, as well as technical and practical sessions. You will likely be required to participate in a clinical practice placement, which will aid your professional development and improve your clinical skills.
