The course is well organised and easy to keep up with. The work is strenuous, but you really feel you are working towards a career. There is a range of workshops, lectures, tutorials and seminars that make it fun and interactive. Clinical p...more
The course is much more theory based than practical, which can be difficult for someone like me, who didn't study science at 6th form....more
The course is very well structured, one of the best for nursing. The placements help us learn and practice within a clinic. This I find helped us learn and progress in the course as you put the theory into practice....more
