Nursing Studies (leading to professional registration as an Adult Nurse) PG Diploma

The course is 50 per cent theory and 50 per cent practice, based on four core units of study:

• Foundations in Health and Nursing
• Patients with Acute and Short-Term Needs
• Patients with Long-Term Conditions and Complex Needs
• Transitions to Practice: Managing and Organising Care

This course uses an innovative problem-based learning strategy to help you think about real clinical practice scenarios. A strong emphasis on cooperative learning helps you manage unfamiliar situations, make reasoned decisions, adapt to change, and plan your future learning. It’s a realistic and challenging preparation for registration.

You’re assessed on theory and practice. In practice, you’ll need to achieve a number of competencies by the end of each unit, assessed by your clinical mentor. Your theoretical knowledge is assessed by written assignments, case studies, poster presentations and exams.
