Introduction
Children and Young People is one of several specialist routes available in our BSc (Honours) Nursing.
If you want to become a registered nurse within this field, and are already working in a healthcare role, this unique practice-based qualification is for you. You'll be able to stay in work while you study – provided you have the support of your employer and suitable practice can be agreed.
In addition to the subject of Children and Young People nursing, your study will include a number of additional nursing specialisms, including Adult, Learning Disabilities and Mental Health. Successful completion of your degree through this route will result in your eligibility to apply for registration as a qualified nurse (children and young people) with the Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC).
