Program overview
A three year honours degree in adult nursing, covering anatomy and physiology, nursing practice, pharmacology, patient assessment and extensive supervised clinical placement.
Bachelor of Science (Honours) in Nursing, Adult asks IELTS 6.5 and leads to a regulated profession where registration is decided separately from graduation.
Bachelor of Science (Honours) in Nursing, Adult is taught at the Birmingham City University, a UK university with degree awarding powers. Because the adult nursing degree is a degree, it supports an application under the UK Graduate Route, which gives two years of unsponsored work in Britain after the adult nursing degree ends, or three years for a doctorate. To claim it after the adult nursing degree you must be inside the UK on a valid student visa when you apply. One limit applies to the adult nursing degree as to every taught course in Britain: the rules introduced in January 2024 stop taught students bringing a spouse or children as dependants, so the adult nursing degree cannot support a family move.
Entry to Bachelor of Science (Honours) in Nursing, Adult is Class 12 or equivalent at 60 percent or above. The English requirement is IELTS 6.5 with no band below 6.0, and tuition for the adult nursing degree is recorded at GBP 18,570 a year. BCU charges no application fee, so applying for the adult nursing degree costs you nothing, and no scholarship is recorded against it. the adult nursing degree lists five entry windows a cycle, across September and January. Apply Study Visa manages the the adult nursing degree application, the deposit, the offer, the CAS and the UK student visa as one process.
