This three-year undergraduate degree programme integrates theory and practice, preparing our students to be world-class practitioners. Students in this programme will begin in September 2023.

Our personal tutor system for student support is very well regarded, and we were awarded the Best Student Experience award in the 2021 Student Nursing Times Awards.

This BSc Professional Nursing programme will enable you to register with the Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC) as an Adult Nurse. Nursing is a rewarding, dynamic and highly skilled profession.

Students will spend 50 per cent of their time in University learning the latest nursing theory and clinical skills, and 50 per cent of their time with one of our internationally-recognised training partners in a wide variety of clinical and community settings throughout Northern Ireland. This course equips students with the knowledge, skills and attributes to deliver person-centred, team-based, safe, effective care in today’s fast-paced, dynamic health service.

You will learn in our state-of-the-art clinical skills and simulation suite and complete practice placements in a range of settings. The course is taught by experts in acute and chronic care, palliative care, community nursing and mental health who will support you in becoming a caring, compassionate professional, working in partnership with people, families, and communities. Our focus on interdisciplinary learning throughout the three year course will enrich your experience and help prepare you for the reality of professional practice.

This programme is fully funded by the Department of Health for Home students, including full fees and a bursary. Students on this programme are ineligible to apply for funding from the Student Loans Company. It is not available as a part time programme.

World Class Facilities

Learn and test your clinical skills through the use of state of the art simulation equipment.  Our revolutionary facilities, opening in 2020, allow our educators to role play scenarios in response to the students' actions. This activity often takes place behind a one way mirror and provides the teaching team with the opportunity to observe and monitor the students' responses to the specific scenarios.

Students work in multidisciplinary teams in our state-of-the-art simulation centre, using the latest technology for learning.

QUB is a brilliant university and cares well for its students. The university supported its students amazingly well throughout the pandemic. I am proud to be a Queen's students and hope to come back for a postgraduate course.
