Course Overview

The BSc Nursing Science (Child) course will prepare you to become a Registered Nurse who is capable to prioritise people, practice effectively and promote professionalism. Studying within the requirements of the new NMC standards means that you will have the ability to demonstrate critical thinking skills in relation to complex healthcare issues and the health and wellbeing of children, young people, and their families. You will study partially at our Coach Lane Campus, and partially on placement, with both strands running alongside each other to give you an integrated approach to theory and practice. You will study within the standard university semester system, allowing time during the Easter and summer breaks for additional projects and internships €“ or simply a well-earned rest. This program will equip you to be curious, creative, and collaborative in your care. It will allow your compassion to thrive within an evidence-based approach and it will enable you to make a genuine impact on the health and wellbeing of babies, children, young people, and their families.
