Blended Learning
Nursing (Adult) BSc (Hons)
Balance studying at degree level whilst maintaining your lifestyle. Discover our blended learning options for BSc (Hons) Nursing (Adult).
Our Blended Learning Pods (Bristol, Bath and Swindon) have been developed in partnership with Health Education England. It includes the same innovative content and structure as the on-campus BSc (Hons) Nursing (Adult) degree – approved by the Nursing and Midwifery Council.
This is a full-time course which allows you to carry out placements in your chosen Blended Learning Pod area (Bristol, Bath or Swindon). Find out more about the pod locations below.
You’ll benefit from direct links with the local NHS practice – getting to know policies, procedures and contacts within your pod’s NHS trust and increasing your potential for successful employment in that area following graduation.
As a Blended Learning student, you will study through a combination of face-to-face teaching at our Gloucestershire campus and online learning. You will need to attend campus for induction, module introductions, clinical skills teaching, assessments, and selected learning activities that are best delivered in person, such as guest speakers and practical workshops.
The exact number of campus days may vary slightly each year. Typically, there are more campus-based activities in Year 2 and fewer in Year 3. Overall, the majority of your lectures and seminars are delivered online.
You will study the same modules as students based at Oxstalls Campus and be taught by the same experienced academic team. Teaching sessions usually include:
- Preparatory learning activities to complete before the session
- A lecturer-led seminar or teaching session
- Follow-up activities to help consolidate and apply your learning
Online teaching is delivered through Microsoft Teams. Students are expected to take an active part in live sessions and, where possible, keep their cameras on to support engagement and discussion.
Students applying for this course may be eligible for the NHS Learning Support Fund, which provides a non-means training grant of £5,000 per academic year, to help with living costs plus an additional £2,000 for students who have parental responsibility. Contact the Money Advice Team for further information.
