Course in depth
What this course covers, who it suits and where it leads.
What you'll study
This integrative healthcare degree combines clinical nursing foundations with specialised pathways. You'll usually begin with core nursing practice, anatomy and physiology, and your first supervised placement, about half the course is practice-based throughout. As you progress, you'll study acute and long-term care, medicines management, and broader care settings across community and mental health placements. In later years, a course like this typically moves toward complex care, leadership and quality improvement, evidence-based practice, and culminates in consolidated placements leading to registration. You can pursue specialisations such as adult nursing, children's nursing, mental health, community and primary care, or leadership pathways.
