The Nursing programme offered by Saint George's University of London in conjunction with Kingston University LondonÊis ideal if you are interested in a career in frontline, leadership or specialist nursing.

The first year is divided into two parts. In part one you will undertake a bridging module introducing you to the foundations of nursing and healthcare. In part two you will look at the context of nursing within a variety of client groups within your specific field of nursing.

In your second year (part three) you will learn about the complexities of nursing at an individual and organisational level as well as preparing for your transition to registered nurse.
