Summary

Providing care for children, young people, and their families is a rewarding career choice. If you’re keen to provide committed, compassionate and professional care for children and young people and their families, this Nursing (Child) BSc(Hons) degree course – which is regulated by the Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC) – could be the course to help you pursue your future career.

From the very start of this child nursing course, you’ll get the chance to develop the vital skills, values, and confidence you’ll need to care for children, young people, and their families, whatever their circumstances. These includes those with acute illness, long-term conditions or those who need help to maintain their health.

Why study Nursing (Child) BSc(Hons)

On the course, you’ll develop key clinical skills in our fully equipped simulated children’s ward, using our patient simulators, as well as hearing first-hand experiences and viewpoints from service users and carers, who are part of the Public Partnership Group.

You'll be taught by a team who understand what it is like be a child nurse and are able to demonstrate the latest techniques and procedures, supporting you to put these skills into practice. You’ll learn in an innovative environment, too, which is designed to give you the very best opportunities for in-classroom and hands-on learning.

Your time on the course will be divided between learning theory and applying your knowledge in a clinical environment, with clinical placements providing opportunities for you to put what you’ve learned into practice in a variety of settings. These include children's wards, children’s hospitals, accident and emergency departments and neonatal intensive care. Opportunities are also available to work with specialist nurses in a range of community settings, including health centres, children's hospices, and mainstream and specialist schools. You'll be supported throughout your practical experiences by academic staff and experienced practice assessors and supervisors.

In 2024, the University’s new Daphne Steele Building will open on the site of the National Health Innovation campus, too. To enhance your learning, this will allow child nursing students to benefit from specialist clinical teaching facilities and world-leading research facilities.
