A career in nursing and the healthcare sector can be demanding and fast-paced, but it is extremely rewarding. With our diverse teaching, state-of-the-art simulation facilities and clinical placement opportunities, you can gain the skills you need to become a confident and compassionate nurse with Buckinghamshire New University.

We have a long history of training nurses and giving them the knowledge and practice-based experience they need to provide excellent patient care. 98% of our students are in employment or in further study six months after graduating (HESA 2020), a lot of the time by the trusts, hospitals or homes that they worked with during their time at the University.

You will benefit from an excellent standard of teaching provided by staff from the University and practice, in partnership with our NHS Trust partners. Our lecturers have a high-level of expertise in their specialist fields and continue to maintain close links with practice, ensuring that the programme is up-to-date.

Students are also supported with state-of-the-art simulation facilities on campus to hone their skills and get ready for practice. We use simulation manikins programmed to act like humans, and ‘moulage’ – the process of applying mock (and often gorily lifelike) injuries for training purposes. We also engage service users in role-play sessions allowing us to create realistic scenarios where students get can get feedback to boost their confidence before going out on placement.
