Program Overview

The BSc Nursing Science (Learning Disability) course will provide you with experience in a caring role and prepare you to become a Registered Nurse who is capable of prioritising people, practicing effectively and promoting professionalism. Studying within the requirements of the new NMC standards means that you will have the ability to demonstrate critical thinking skills in relation to complex healthcare issues and the health and wellbeing of patients with a learning disability.

You will study partially at our Coach Lane Campus, and partially on placement, with both strands running alongside each other to give an integrated approach to theory and practice. You will study within the standard university semester system, allowing time during the Easter and summer breaks for additional projects and internships – or simply a well-earned rest.

This programme will equip you to be curious, creative and collaborative in your care. It will allow your compassion to thrive within an evidence-based approach, and enable you to make a genuine impact on the health and wellbeing of your clients and patients with learning disabilities.
