Course Overview
This programme is designed for students who want to begin a professional career in adult nursing, focusing on the care of adults with acute, chronic, and complex health conditions. It prepares students to deliver safe, compassionate, and evidence-based care within modern healthcare settings such as hospitals, community clinics, and primary care services.
At Teesside University, students study essential areas including anatomy and physiology, nursing practice, pharmacology, public health, health assessment, and evidence-based care. The course helps learners understand how to support adult patients across different stages of illness and recovery.
Students also develop clinical decision-making skills by learning how to assess patient needs, plan care, and evaluate treatment outcomes. The programme integrates theory with practice to ensure students understand real healthcare environments.
A strong focus is placed on communication, teamwork, and patient-centred care. Students learn how to work effectively with patients, families, and multidisciplinary healthcare teams.
Practical learning is a key part of the course, with placements in real healthcare settings where students gain hands-on clinical experience. This helps them develop confidence and professional competence in nursing practice.
The programme also builds important skills such as critical thinking, problem-solving, emotional resilience, and ethical decision-making. These skills are essential for safe and effective nursing practice.
Teesside University provides modern simulation facilities, experienced academic staff, and practice-based learning aligned with UK Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC) standards. The course ensures students are fully prepared for professional registration and nursing careers.
Graduates can work as registered adult nurses in hospitals, community healthcare services, GP practices, and specialist care settings.
