I've applied for Brighton for Child Nursing this year. I had my interview recently, and the University and course seem really great!
One thing I want to point out is that the child nursing degree is all taught in the Falmer campus. Adult and mental health might be a choice. I got told it's one lecture a week which is at Falmer campus, 2 days of placements which you can choose from anywhere really, brighton, eastbourne, hastings etc wherever is closest... and two more days of study (not lectures, I think its just guided study) and two days off a week, both days off and the "guided study" or what ever depends on when your placements are that week... it changes every week depending on your mentors are working. But it seems like a really great Uni, some of the people I met at my interview had been rejected straight away for Child Nursing at Canterbury, some said its because of them taking in college students as opposed to mature students, which I think is terrible. But who knows why really, just thought I would tell you.
Hope this helps!
