BSc Nursing (Adult)

Why study Adult Nursing at Aberystwyth? Our academic staff are qualified nurses and allied health professionals, many of whom are also practising clinicians, providing an exceptional combination of theoretical rigour, professional insight, and practical expertise. We have very strong links with Welsh health boards ( Betsi Cadwaladr University Health Board, Hywel Dda University Health Board, Powys Teaching Health Board, Swansea Bay University Health Board ) opening up clinical placement opportunities for you in a variety of settings in both urban and rural locations. Meanwhile, the nearest hospital, Bronglais General is right next door to our Healthcare Education Centre. By taking a person-centred approach to care delivery, you will focus on meeting people's essential care needs and, you will develop the skills and capabilities to assess, provide and manage the complex care needs of individuals and groups of people. Students’ clinical and academic skills are developed within a strong and established system of support through personal tutors in the Healthcare Education Centre and clinical mentors in placements. Placements are embedded into the programme to enable you to develop your clinical skills. You will experience a range of clinical settings which may require you to travel out of the local area of Aberystwyth. To develop your skills in academic writing, reflection, critical thinking, and decision making, a small group approach to learning is adopted whereby you are supported by your personal tutor. This is complemented by lectures, online activities, individual tutorials, directed study, and skills-based learning in the Healthcare Education Centre’s Clinical Skills Units. Learning in the Healthcare Education Centre at Aberystwyth is enhanced by our newly established Clinical Skills Unit, a simulation suite where you can learn and practice clinical skills in a safe and supportive environment. Our facilities which include the clinical suite allows you to put your theoretical knowledge into practice in an environment that reflects as closely as possible the actual conditions that you will experience when you go on placement in a hospital or community setting. You can study 50% of your nursing degree through the medium of Welsh and you may be eligible for financial support from the Coleg Cymraeg Cenedlaethol. Our practice-based module is supported by Welsh speaking Practice Supervisors and Practice Assessors. You can complete your clinical assessments through the medium of Welsh. If you’re a non-Welsh speaker and wish to learn Welsh, we offer a basic conversational health-related Welsh lessons within the programme.
