Adult Nursing

About this course

Adult nursing is one of the most demanding and most meaningful careers the NHS has to offer. Nurses work at the centre of patient care, making clinical decisions, coordinating with medical teams, providing treatments and offering comfort and advocacy to people at some of the most vulnerable moments of their lives. The discipline combines scientific knowledge of the body and its conditions with interpersonal skill, ethical reasoning and the capacity to stay calm and focused under pressure. At Manchester Metropolitan University this three-year full-time programme is built around the understanding that nursing cannot be learned from a textbook alone. You will spend substantial time in clinical placements alongside your academic studies, gaining hands-on experience in a range of settings where adult patients are cared for: acute hospital wards, community environments, and specialist service
