Discover what you'll learn, what you'll study, and how you'll be taught and assessed.
You will learn about the art and practice of nursing in your first year. All students will undertake one four week placement as an introduction to nursing patients in an acute setting, followed by two further placements, one of seven weeks duration and the other ten weeks.
Year one includes clinical skills modules, a practice module (incorporating all of the placements across the year), and theory modules to introduce physiology and pathophysiology, behavioural sciences and professional issues in nursing, including law and ethics.
Modules will develop knowledge and skills around effective assessment, planning, implementation and evaluation of care across a range of different conditions, which extend across the lifespan and span conditions affecting physical and mental health and well-being.
This year also focuses upon developing knowledge around caring for seriously ill individuals, and the importance of holistic assessment and planning to successfully prioritise individual need and shape decision-making using a collaborative approach.
During this year students will also be introduced to specific types of healthcare and nursing research including research methodology, data collection and analysis, and ethical considerations of research.
Students undertake three different placements of seven, four and eleven weeks respectively.
Specific focus in this year is on equipping you with the core nursing knowledge needed to be able to assess needs, plan, provide and evaluate care of people with advanced clinical needs and those who require palliation and end of life care. Teaching will also revolve around leadership and advancing skills to facilitate your proficiencies to manage care in a diversity of settings, working with a range of professionals and supporting new learners.
Your third year also includes a dissertation, for which support will be given to write a research proposal around an area of care within nursing that specifically interests the student.
Students undertake two placements of 10 and 12 weeks respectively.
Learning is promoted through a wide variety of activities that enable the students to become autonomous and continuous learners. Interactive lectures, practical and clinical skills group work, directed study, role play, problem-based learning, small group work, student-led seminars, collaborative project work and interactive tutorials are key learning strategies of the programmes.
Practical work using our imaging suite digital equipment, the Clinical Skills Resource Room and the Human Anatomy Resource Centre complements teaching activities.
Face-to-face interactions between all students will occur at shared lectures, tutorials and group work and online interaction will be encouraged and facilitated. There is also inter-professional education and learning opportunities across all Healthcare Professions programmes.
Using a mixture of coursework and examination, a range of assessment methods are used. These include seen and unseen written examinations, essay assignments with specific word lengths, multiple choice questions, case study presentations, video analysis and interactive practical examinations.
Assessment of the work-based learning element of the programme is an important aspect. You will be required to communicate your views orally and in written form; analyse, implement and evaluate your practice; and to extend the research and evidence base of your chosen profession.
The various methods of assessments have been chosen to provide a balance that will permit the undergraduates to demonstrate their intellectual abilities in all areas to the full.
