BSc (Hons) Nursing: Practice Development (top-up)

Course Overview

This programme will provide you with the opportunity to develop intellectual, analytical, and problem-solving skills which encourage the development of mature and independent decision-making and reasoned judgment. You'll develop conceptual knowledge and practical understanding of how techniques of enquiry enable the critical analysis, interpretation, and application of contemporary evidence within the learner's sphere of influence.

We'll also facilitate your development as a leader and/or change agent, able to respond to a dynamic practice environment. We provide a learning experience which promotes the application of a robust client/user focus and a collaborative approach to both learning and practice.
