FdSc Nursing Associate Practitioner

... United Kingdom
... University of Bedfordshire

Course Overview

The new role of nursing associate is designed to bridge the gap between healthcare assistant and registered nurse. This flexible, practice-led course is aimed at healthcare assistants currently supporting registered nurses to provide care.

As a nursing associate, you will have the skills, knowledge, attitudes and behaviours to play an active part in improving people’s experience of healthcare.

This Foundation Degree provides the study- and work-based learning you need to develop these wide-ranging skills and widen the scope of your service. It also meets the requirements of the national Nursing Associate Training programme curriculum as well as the NHS Constitution (see below).

General Eligibility

We will consider you as an individual and take into account all elements of your application, not just your qualifications. We are looking for breadth and depth in your current studies and enthusiasm for the subject you wish to study.

UCAS Tariff Points

  • A Foundation Degree will be of particular interest if you have completed a Modern Apprenticeship, vocational A levels, BTEC National or equivalent.

    Foundation Degrees are also particularly suitable if you want to qualify while working.

    As a guideline, a typical offer would require you to obtain a UCAS tariff score of between 32-48 points, based on your level 3 studies.

You can work out how many UCAS points your qualifications are worth with the UCAS tariff calculator

Check Your Country page to confirm that your local qualifications are suitable or contact your International Admissions Team
