Nursing Courses - Undergraduate

Overview

Student nurses practice medicine administration in the clinical skills suite. Our 3-year accredited degrees in Nursing combine extensive practice opportunities with collaborative learning informed by service users, carers and their families.

We will equip you with the professional values and field-specific competencies required to achieve national outcomes and become a professionally qualified nurse. You can specialise in adult nursing, children’s nursing, learning disabilities or mental health.

Alternatively, you may wish to gain professional accreditation in two fields of nursing on a 4-year integrated Masters degree or achieve dual registration as both a professionally qualified nurse and registered social worker, or as a professionally qualified adult nurse and paramedic. We also offer a foundation degree that enables you to train to join the nursing team as a qualified nursing associate.

Our innovative Faculty of Health, Social Care and Medicine building provides some of the best teaching and learning resources in the country for Nursing and Midwifery students.

The clinical skills facilities include ward simulations and operating theatres with industry standard equipment, as well as robot-style mannequins that can simulate a wide range of symptoms, from pregnancy to a temperature, to ensure your learning experience is as realistic as possible.

Edge Hill University has excellent relationships with NHS hospital and community trusts, enabling us to offer practice-based learning opportunities in a variety of care contexts, with placements at more than 600 locations across Merseyside, Cheshire and Lancashire.
