This three-year <strong>BSc Nursing</strong> course (subject to validation) will prepare you to become a confident, compassionate, and critically thinking nurse, equipped with the knowledge, skills, and leadership qualities required for a successful and rewarding career in healthcare. On completion, you will be eligible to apply for registration with the Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC) as a Registered Adult Nurse. <br/><br/>You will engage in practice learning experiences (PLEs) in a variety of healthcare settings, supported by experienced clinical mentors and academic staff. These PLEs will allow you to apply theory to practice and develop the confidence to deliver safe, effective, and person-centred care. <br/><br/>This course allows you to graduate and become a qualified nurse <strong>within only three years</strong>, rather than the four years required for the Master of Nursing or BSc (Hons) Nursing. The entry requirements are lower for this route, so applicants may be eligible for this who are not eligible for either of the other routes. You will qualify with an Ordinary Degree at SCQF Level 9, whereas the BSc (Hons) Nursing awards an Honours Degree at SCQF Level 10, and the MNurse awards a Master’s degree at SCQF Level 11.<br/><br/><strong>Why QMU?</strong><br/><br/><br/>- <strong>Accelerated route to a nursing degree:</strong> Complete your degree in three years while meeting all NMC requirements for theory and practice hours. <br/><br/><br/>- <strong>Practice-Focused:</strong> Gain extensive clinical experience through diverse practice learning experiences (PLEs) across NHS and community settings. <br/><br/><br/>- <strong>Learning and teaching methods to help prepare you for practice:</strong> Active Learning: Engage in simulation-based education, critical inquiry, and reflective practice to prepare for real-world challenges. <br/><br/><br/>- <strong>You will be career-ready:</strong> Graduate with the skills, confidence, and professional registration to work as an Adult Nurse in the UK and internationally. <br/><br/><br/>- <strong>Specialist facilities to enhance your learning:</strong> Your theoretical learning will be complemented with practice in our Clinical Simulation Suite.<br/><br/><br/>- <strong>Supportive learning environment:</strong> Small classes mean you will benefit from individual support from our highly experienced course team.<br/>
