Nursing options

We produce nurses who are not only excellent clinical practitioners but who also understand the importance of care, compassion and communication. These values run through all our courses, and our staff have a wealth of experience and can demonstrate how those values make a positive impact on patients' lives.

As we take a 'whole patient journey' approach you will develop an understanding of how your role fits in to the team of healthcare professionals who work alongside nurses throughout the patient's journey to recovery, including paramedics, doctors, health care assistants and radiographers.

Discover where and how you can study

You don't have to study a Coventry University nursing degree at our Coventry campus. In fact you can study at one of our CU campuses located in Coventry, London and Scarborough. Wherever you choose to study you'll graduate with a Coventry University degree.

Whatever your ambitions for your career in nursing you can specialise in a number of areas including Adult Nursing, Mental Health Nursing, Learning Disabilities Nursing or Children and Young People’s Nursing. There is also flexibility in how you study, with blended learning options enabling you to study most of the course online at times when convenient to you, or face-to-face at one of our sites.

You can begin your career in nursing at a number of levels, if you have limited qualifications you can take a foundation year or access course. If you have A levels or equivalent you can apply for a 2 year Foundation degree to qualify as a Nursing Associate or a 3 year undergraduate Nursing degree. If you already have a degree and some care experience you can qualify in 2 years by taking a pre-registration master’s degree either face-to-face or via blended learning.
