Course Overview

Teaching

The course is taught on the Glyntaff campus where you will be taught alongside other community nurses. 

The NMC require forty academic days to be completed. Twenty-six of these require attendance on a Tuesday, from September to May.

The other fourteen academic days will be self-directed and recorded in a course diary. Each academic day is counted as 7.5 hours, thus achieving 300 hours of student effort.

You will also undertake 40 clinical practice days between September and May, again equating to 7.5 hours, thus 300 hours of student effort.

Teaching and learning methods include lectures, tutorials, workshops and self-directed study.

If you have undertaken the Fundamentals of Community Practice module (30 credits) within the last five years, this can be transferred to the degree.

Whilst undertaking the course you will meet the requirements of the Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC) (1994) Standards for Specialist Education and Practice. On successful completion you will be awarded a specialist practitioner qualification (SPQ), which is recorded with the NMC, as well as a BSc (Hons) Community Health Studies (Specialist Practitioner District Nursing).

Please note, this course fully funded by the Workforce, Education and Development Services department of Welsh Government.
