About this course
BSc (Hons) Nursing (Child), an undergraduate degree in Nursing (Child) focused on child health nursing, clinical practice, and family-centred care. Core topics include Computer Architecture, Clinical Skills, Ethics & Professional Practice, and Human Behaviour.

The second year progresses into Developing Competence in Contemporary Child Nursing, Promoting Health and Wellbeing across the Lifespan, and Evidence-based Practice and Informed Decision Making, alongside Practice 3 and Practice 4. The final year focuses on leadership and complex care through Leading and Coordinating Contemporary Child Nursing Care, Managing Complex Care Needs in Child Nursing Care, and Preparation for Professional Registration, concluding with Practice 5 and Practice 6.
