Nursing (Blended Learning) Adult (Hons) University of Huddersfield

Overview

This Nursing (Blended Learning) Adult (Hons) course at University of Huddersfield has been designed for those who would like to become a nurse and are located within the North East, Yorkshire and the Humber, Cheshire and Merseyside, North West, Cumbria or North Lincolnshire.

Regulated by the Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC), with strong partnerships with NHS Trusts, private and voluntary organisations, you’ll learn and be supported by experienced lecturers, practice supervisors and assessors, and those who know what it’s like to be an adult nurse.

Clinical placements throughout the course, via a variety of settings, will help you hone the skills you develop on campus. You’ll learn online through seminars and group work, and have the opportunity to become part of an online community where you can showcase your work, collaborate with peers, and establish relationships with tutors. You’ll also learn through independent, self-directed study, developing confidence in your self- discipline and organisational skills.

Our Public Partnership Group (PPG) and Health and Wellbeing Academy work together to support your development as a compassionate, person-centred professional. You’ll engage with service users and carers through lectures, discussions, and simulations. Their lived experiences will help to build your communication skills, empathy, and the critical thinking needed to deliver outstanding care across diverse communities. While our Health and Wellbeing Academy offers hands-on placement opportunities through initiatives like Get Set Goal and Restart a Heart. These experiences will help you build skills in communication, public health, leadership, and teamwork while making a real impact in the community.

The University’s new Daphne Steele Building is now open on the site of the National Health Innovation campus too. This allows our Nursing Blended Learning (Adult) BSc(Hons) students to benefit from specialist clinical teaching facilities and world-leading research facilities.
