How To Study
Each year of the scheme lasts 42 weeks and is made up of 50% theory and 50% practice. There are supervised practice placements as an integral part of the programme in our three partner healthcare Trusts (Cwm Taf, Abertawe Bro-Morgannwg and Gwent Healthcare), starting from the eighth week of the course. You will have the chance to practice across a wide range of healthcare settings, developing key skills that will enhance your employability. You could also spend 15 weeks studying in Finland, Portugal, Cyprus or Germany.
PgDip: It is possible for those with a health-related degree to undertake a short two-year postgraduate programme in one of the four branches. Successful completion of this programme will lead to the opportunity to gain the MSc in Nursing.
