Learning Disability Nursing (Hons) University of Hull

Overview

People with learning disabilities live, work and socialise in our communities. But they need help to do so. That’s where our graduates come in.

This three-year Learning Disability Nursing (Hons) course offered by University of Hull will equip you with the skills and knowledge to deliver high-quality, evidence-based health care.

You’ll be hands-on from day one thanks to our £28 million Health Campus, which gives you the opportunity to practise in simulated operating theatres, hospital wards, intensive care facilities and more.

But we don’t just teach the theory. You’ll spend 50% of your time on clinical placements, giving you the confidence and experience to take your place on the frontline when you graduate as a qualified registered nurse with the Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC).

Future prospects

• Our nursing degrees have an incredible graduate employability rating, so the career prospects couldn’t be better.

• You’ll graduate with the skills and experience to be a professional healthcare practitioner and eligible to register with the Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC).

• Most of our graduates go on to work in the NHS – but others find positions overseas, in private practice, in the social services, the pharmaceutical industry, the Armed Forces, the prison service or in specialist areas such as drug rehabilitation.
