Nursing (Adult) with Foundation Year

About this course

Adult nursing is at the heart of healthcare delivery, and the people who pursue it do so because they want to make a genuine difference to patients at some of the most difficult moments of their lives. Nurses are the largest professional group in the NHS and the backbone of hospital and community care, combining clinical knowledge with the human skills of observation, communication, and compassionate judgement that no technology can replicate. This four-year full-time degree at the University of Derby, which includes a foundation year, prepares you for registration as an adult nurse with the Nursing and Midwifery Council. The foundation year gives you the academic and scientific foundations for nursing study before you enter the main programme, making this route accessible to those who have the commitment and personal qualities for the profession but who need additional preparation.
