Course Description

A shorter route to qualification as a Registered Nurse (Adult) with non-repayable grants available to eligible home students

Study the seven platforms of nursing proficiency through a blended curriculum. Learn through a combination of online and face-to-face activities. Graduate with the qualifications needed to register with the Nursing and Midwifery Council as a Registered Nurse (Adult).

This MNurse (Adult) course is designed to promote the development of high levels of knowledge, skills and professionalism.

The course is two years in length and will lead to a Master’s degree in Adult Nursing. It is a pre-registration course, aimed at graduates, so as well as gaining a Masters degree, you’ll also be eligible to register with the Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC) to become a Registered Nurse (Adult).

This is an intense course which will require commitment and dedication to succeed. The course meets Nursing and Midwifery Standards and will be delivered 50/50 between theory and clinical practice. It has been developed with a blended learning curriculum which will enable you to study at home as well as on campus and on placement.

Student Destinations

Adult nursing is a rewarding and challenging career where you have a real chance to make a difference to people’s lives. The completion of this MNurse course will lead to registration as an adult nurse. There are opportunities to enter into industries such as the NHS, the military, private and voluntary organisations and primary care.

There are over 44,000 nursing and midwifery vacancies in the UK so the opportunities for newly qualified Adult nurses are immense. Our partner Trusts cannot guarantee a job at the end of the course but they do guarantee an interview.

Adult nurses make up the largest part of the NHS workforce with over 176,000 working in just acute settings. In the future, more adult nursing jobs will be based in the community rather than hospitals as more care is delivered outside of acute settings, including hospital wards, outpatient units or specialist departments, the community or nursing homes and the prison service.
