At the University of Salford, you will be welcomed into a relaxed and friendly environment, with access to facilities, support and opportunities that will enable you to succeed. In this course, you will learn in our state-of-the-art simulation suites as part of a multidisciplinary team and prepare for a career as a Registered Nurse.

You will:

• Combine theoretical learning (50%) with practical clinical experience (50%)
• Study within an interprofessional learning environment
• Have the opportunity to go on an international placement to experience care outside of the UK

Our Nursing programmes embody a shared philosophy that represents the values and beliefs of key partners, including students, patients, service users and families, practice colleagues and university staff. Theoretical underpinnings of the philosophy include nursing ethics, personalised care, and a safety model ensuring the safety and protection of people of all ages and their carers and families.

Key concepts support the development of professional behaviours, inter-professional working, values and attitudes expected of a compassionate nurse, such as connectedness, emotional intelligence, moral responsibility and creativity.
