Starting a career in Nursing has never been easier. With the new job role of Nursing Associate, aspiring Nurses can start their careers with just a two-year degree.
Our FdSc Nursing Associate foundation degree shares many of the same great things our BSc in Nursing does, such as placements at prestigious London hospitals and teaching in our state-of-the-art Clinical Simulation Labs. We've just purchased one of the world's most innovative simulation mannequins, SimMan, and we're the first university in Europe to have one.
We still have places available to study Nursing Associate this September, you can apply at:
