Additional information

The BNurs programme overview (PDF) provides an overview of the BNurs programmes for the 2023-24 academic year.

During your nursing course, you will be expected to develop your knowledge through extensive reading and independent study.

As soon as you have completed the registration process, you will have access to Blackboard, which is the virtual learning environment we use to give you access to all the materials relating to your study on the programme. You will find reading lists within each of your units in Blackboard.

You will be invited onto campus during the first weeks for a uniform fitting. You will receive an invite via email with a specific date/time, so please look out for this in due course.

As a BNurs student you will go on a range of practice placements during your degree. Read more about practice placements including information on shift patterns, a placement map and mentorship.

The School of Health Sciences will runs a pre-arrival coffee morning event for students who live at home or commute to campus.

The event aims to help you make contact with peers and gain support with issues relating to living off-campus. We will share further information and event details here once finalised. Please check back again soon.

The peer assisted study sessions (PASS) are a student-led initiative for first years to attend.
