Adult Nursing (Hons) (with Foundation Year option) Bournemouth University

Overview

The Adult Nursing (Hons) (with Foundation Year option) BSc course from  Bournemouth University has developed the adult nursing course as part of a co-ordinated suite of nursing courses to enhance student learning and prepare you for practice. Our approach to interprofessional education means that throughout the course students will take part in shared workshops, lectures and learning events with students on the other nursing courses and students on other health-related courses within the faculty.

Your placements and assessments will also be field-specific.

You will also benefit from regular guest lectures from local healthcare services and workshops run by service users (patients and carers) who are part of the teaching team.
