The course equipped me with comprehensive knowledge and practical skills, allowing me to become a confident and competent nurse. The faculty provided exceptional support throughout the MSc, particularly around professional development, and the state-of-the-art facilities at King's made for an outstanding learning environment.
As a nursing student we utilise many different teaching methods - meaning there really is something for everyone. Our clinical skills teachers are incredible as they are still registered nurses and practice in some of our host trusts.
The midwifery team here at KCL is an amazing community of likeminded individuals. The staff academically challenge us to be the midwives we can be. They provide many points of support whether it be from our personal tutors to our lectures, there is always someone to speak to. One of my best decisions was to study at Kings.
I chose King's because of its prestigious reputation, impressive nursing course, and excellent employment opportunities. I'm based mainly at the Waterloo campus and once I am there, there is no need to leave due to the fantastic amenities – the funky canteen and huge library.
Studying the Adult Nursing BSc course at King’s has so many perks, ranging from having an assigned upper-year peer buddy to practising in simulation rooms where you could build your confidence and familiarity in a safe space.
