• Students will work in supportive teams with practice and academic experts, mentors, and personal tutors. The student course is 50% theory and 50% practice and commences with a six-week introductory block with regular placements in professional healthcare settings, allowing them to work with patients, their carers, and care providers.
  • Nursing is an exciting and rewarding profession that requires students to take care of themselves to enable them to care for others – the university will support students to consider and maintain their own personal wellbeing and resilience within a ‘culture of care for both students , and people in their care.
  • The University of Gloucestershire helps students develop the skills and adaptability they need to deliver high-quality patient care in a range of settings, while also promoting the NHS values and vision – ensuring everyone has greater control of their health and wellbeing. Students are required to work a range of shifts during the program (early, late, and night shifts covering the full 24 hour period of care). Shifts are allocated by the placement ward department with as much notice as possible. Due to the need to work with a supervisor, students are unlikely to be able to choose their own shifts.
