Course overview

In order to meet the rapidly changing needs and expectations of healthcare environments, this course is intended to supplement a registered nursing certificate. Whether you are a domestic or international nurse, you will improve your critical thinking, evidence-based practice, analysis, and clinical practice comprehension. The curriculum is meant to help you grow clinically, as a research-aware practitioner, and to prepare you to lead change and quality improvement in practice. An eager team of skilled professionals will instruct you. Every member of the team has at least one area of clinical and teaching competence. They are also involved in healthcare research and consulting. All learning is supported by evidence-based practice, which encourages the development of high-quality healthcare provision. A great emphasis is placed on connecting nursing theory to clinical practice. The training is carefully designed to improve abilities that will allow you to face a wider range of obstacles. We work hard to provide you with all of the assistance you require to boost your confidence and professionalism. After completing this course, you will gain the knowledge and abilities you will need as the next generation of adult nurses to provide world-class person-centred, evidence-based care. You will graduate prepared to find rewarding work as a nurse if you spend equal time on practice placement and in the classroom.

Fees & funding

Course fee per year: £9,250 The Tuition Fee of the course may vary depending on the institution you wish to study at, as well as your status in the UK. The course is available for UK/EU & International Students and eligible for Student Loans Company (SLC) funding to help cover the cost of your tuition fees and other expenses. If you are an UK/EU citizen or living in the UK on an Indefinite stay, apart from the tuition fees, you could also receive support from the government via Student Loans Company to cover some living costs while studying. The maintenance loan depends on each individual's circumstances.
Fees breakdown:
Tuition fee loans cover the full cost of your course and are paid directly to the course provider.
Student Finance has to be paid back, however, you only make Student Loan repayments once you've left your course AND are earning enough. Repayments vary with your salary, and stop altogether if your income drops too low.
Maintenance Loan pays for day-to-day living expenses like rent, bills, food and books. Unlike the fees loan, it's paid directly to your student bank account once a term and you can spend it on anything you like.
Students can also apply for other types of special support grants, such as childcare grants or Disabled Students' Allowance if eligible.
Moreover, almost all universities offer a selection of student bursaries. These are cash gifts you usually don't have to repay.
