Adult nurses need to be able to demonstrate competence in the fundamentals of nursing care across the patient’s lifespan. We recognise that as the context of healthcare delivery is changing, the ability to work flexibly and inter-professionally and collaboratively in a way which is meaningful and relevant is essential This new and exciting curriculum is designed to give graduating Adult Nurses the knowledge, skills and attitudes required to influence improvements in practice, and support them to develop their own professional responsibility towards advancing the profession. This three-year pre-registration BSc (Hons) degree gives you the chance to undertake an Adult Nursing course leading to registration with the Nursing and Midwifery Council. The course is available part-time and full-time on both the Oxford and Swindon campuses and has entry points in September and January.

Career prospects The Adult Nursing course at Brookes has an excellent track record of employability (100% of our students are at work within six months of finishing the course, Unistats 2015).

Opportunities also exist to work abroad, for the Armed Forces or to specialise in research, nurse education or management.
