Nursing Studies (Registered Nurse - Adult Nursing) PGDip

Modern nurses need to be able to support a diverse, complex range of needs while upholding care and demonstrating compassion to all their patients. Our PGDip Nursing Studies (Adult Nursing) will inspire you to advance your skills and further your professional development, while you benefit from the tuition and knowledge of staff with valuable hands-on professional experience.

This course is ideal if you are ambitious and passionate about nursing and you have an undergraduate degree in a relevant subject, together with relevant experience of working in a healthcare environment. You will also be required to demonstrate that you have worked a minimum of 700 hours in a paid healthcare role within a year of starting our course.

Nursing is actually the largest healthcare profession in the UK, and you will be familiar with the diverse roles that nurses need to play in most healthcare services whether in hospitals, practice surgeries, in people’s homes or in the wider community. This is not forgetting the variety of other specialist areas that nurses occupy, such as in care homes, schools, mental health agencies, hospices, in the military and in industry.

Our graduates are regularly employed by the NHS Trusts which host their practice experience before going on to further study and career opportunities relevant to the field of adult nursing, within a year of starting the course. You will likely enjoy the same benefits and go on to enjoy a rewarding career, including careers in the areas of education and research.
