Program Overview

Nursing (Adult) BSc (Hons) with Foundation Year

Overview

This four-year degree in Adult Nursing with an integrated foundation year is designed for individuals who don't meet the entry requirements for the three-year program but can demonstrate their commitment to nursing and relevant life experience.

Course Content

The foundation year prepares students to study nursing by building on their healthcare, science, and research knowledge. Students will study with students preparing for a range of professional courses, including paramedicine, physiotherapy, and diagnostic radiography. Successful completion of the foundation year guarantees progression to the three-year Adult Nursing degree.

Careers

Most graduates go on to work in the NHS, but others find positions in private practice, social services, schools, the prison service, or choose to work overseas. The University of Worcester is first in the UK for sustained employment, further study, or both, five years after graduation.
