Nursing with Registration (Child) BSc (Hons)

This degree prepares you for a fulfilling and rewarding career, focusing on specialist nursing care for children and young people who have a range of acute, long-term and complex healthcare needs.

You’ll combine theoretical study with clinical experience in a range of settings within the NHS, independent and voluntary sectors, and gain the knowledge to become a skilled communicator and a compassionate and open-minded nurse committed to delivering high-quality care to children.

Thanks to the long-standing reputation of our School of Nursing and Midwifery, established more than 50 years ago, you’ll benefit from a wealth of knowledge and experience as well as learn from accomplished academic staff with a variety of clinical expertise. And the support doesn’t stop there – while you’re on placement you will be guided, supervised and assessed by practice and academic staff.
