BSc (Hons) Professional Practice (Nursing)

About this course

The BSc (Hons) Professional Practice (Nursing) is a one-year top-up degree designed for registered nurses. It is run by the Department of Nursing at Horizon Campus over two semesters and carries 120 credits. The fee table lists a BCU fee alongside the Horizon fee, although the page does not name the awarding body in its description. Semester one covers essential academic skills for degree-level study, a negotiated study module and principles of infection prevention and control. Semester two covers using research evidence in practice, profiling experiential learning and quality improvement in health care. The campus says the course relates nursing theory to clinical practice and addresses topics such as equality and diversity in healthcare, managing change, and facilitating learning and development. It is intended to help nurses take on a wider range of clinical tasks and move towards senior roles, and graduates may progress to postgraduate study such as an MSc in Nursing.
