Course Overview

The University of Worcester has a strong reputation for delivering high-quality, innovative and contemporary Nurse Education.

This exciting and transformational Nursing Degree Apprenticeship BSc (Hons) will allow you to study to be a Registered Adult or Mental Health Nurse. It enables you to study the Nursing BSc (Hons), with a fully integrated End Point Assessment.

You can complete the apprenticeship either as a full-time three year route or a four-year part-time route. Opportunities are available to undertake a shortened full-time 18 month or part-time two year route for appropriate applicants, including Registered Nursing Associates via Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL).

Full-time apprentices will complete the course alongside other students completing the Nursing BSc (Hons) (Adult, Children’s and Mental Health) course. While part-time students will study as a discrete group of apprentices, while also having opportunity to study alongside other students completing the Nursing BSc (Hons) course.

The Nursing Degree Apprenticeship BSc (Hons) reflects the Nursing and Midwifery Council Future Nurse: Standards of Proficiency for Registered Nurses and Realising Professionalism: Standards for Education and Training. It is mapped to the Knowledge, Skills and Behaviours of the Registered Nurse Degree Apprenticeship Standard.
