  Programme Overview
  
  Working in the caring professions is exciting and challenging and opens the door to a variety of career prospects. We aim to develop articulate and confident practitioners who are able to use information and research to make professional judgements and deliver best practice to clients. We will ensure you are prepared to practise safely and effectively, meeting the competencies required by relevant professional bodies.
  
  The Nursing programmes are 50 per cent theory and 50 per cent practice. Our Common Foundation Programme will provide you with a solid grounding in all the key areas necessary for successful completion of your chosen branch programme. You will be introduced to the key sciences in nursing (biosciences, sociology and psychology) as well as topics such as assessment, care planning and communication, and law and ethics. Additional study skills are available to help support your learning, such as library skills and electronic searching, essay writing and mathematics.
  
  Following completion of the Common Foundation Programme, the second- and third-year modules which you will study vary depending on your chosen branch of nursing.
  
  Within the third year students on the nursing diploma programme will complete a four week 'elective enquiry, which provides an opportunity to explore an aspect of care which is of particular interest.
