What you can study here

Northumbria University teaches one field of nursing at pre-registration level, training learning disability nurses. Every course listed on this page is approved by its regulator, which is what makes it count: finishing an approved course is what entitles you to apply for registration, and registration is what lets you hold the protected title and be appointed to the job.

The provision here is undergraduate, which is the standard route in from school or college. Expect a mix of taught university blocks and supervised clinical placement, with the placement weeks scheduled around the academic year rather than in the holidays.

No typical offer has been published in the open data for any course at this provider, so this page does not state one. Grades, tariff points and interview requirements change year to year and the university’s own course pages are the only reliable version — each course below links straight to its record.
