Dissertation
- Independent Study Module (60 credits)
In your second year, a key focus will be on independent exploration of research and approaches to its implementation in nursing practice. It's a chance to develop your skills in literature reviewing, research design, data analysis, critical evaluation and synthesis. Learning how to apply these skills will set you up well for a career in nursing and equip you with the knowledge and skills to continually improve practice throughout your career.
Your dissertation enables you to focus in-depth on a topic aligned with your interests, and you will have close support from a supervisor with relevant expertise.
Placements
With half of the programme being devoted to clinical experiences, you'll have the opportunity to undertake a range of placements during your first and second years. You'll be allocated placements that ensure you are exposed to a range of patient groups and ages, in a range of in-patient, primary care, and community settings. Placement providers are situated across a wide geographical area and chosen for the valuable experiences that they provide.
You'll experience a variety of settings, which may include:
- acute care setting such as inpatient assessment or forensic units
- learning from Children and Adolescent Mental Health Services (CAMHS)
- first contact teams
- supporting patients in rehabilitation to adapt to living with long-term conditions
These experiences will ensure thatyou are well-equipped to join the NMC Register upon successful completion of your programme.
Before starting a placement that forms part of your course, you are likely to be asked by the placement provider to sign a confidentiality agreement. This is to ensure that you do not disclose any information that is confidential to the placement provider.
