Please note this programme is not suitable if you want to train to become a nurse. It is only available to qualified nurses (either in UK or overseas).
Whether you're a registered nurse in the UK, or working abroad as a registered nurse, King's College London can help you take the next step in your healthcare career. The Nursing Studies BSc at King's offer the opportunity for the qualified healthcare professionals to study for a degree qualification. The course can be taken by experienced and newly qualified registered nurses in all branches (Adult, Child, Mental Health and Learning Disability) as well as by overseas nurses without registration in the UK.
This innovative nursing course leads to the award of a Nursing Studies BSc. This course is offered in either an intensive full time one-year course or part-time over two years. Both routes allows you the opportunity to gain a greater knowledge, understanding and skillset to deliver, develop and critically analyse healthcare practices.
