Non-Medical Prescribing

Our Nursing programme, which is new for 2019 admission, is a four-year study leading to an MSci Nursing degree and registration as an Adult nurse, with the option for select students to attain dual registration in Adult and Mental Health Nursing.

Healthcare is created by nurses. As healthcare in the UK and across the world evolves, so does the job of nurses. Nurses are taking on more important roles in the healthcare system, including management, policy-making, research, and teaching. And, of course, nurses continue to be at the vanguard of patient care in a variety of settings, from working in cutting-edge super hospitals to caring for the vulnerable at home to giving essential support in refugee camps or disaster-stricken countries.

Exeter Nurses aspires to be great in all aspects of nursing and healthcare in general. The University of Exeter is dedicated to advancing the future of nursing, and the structure and content of this curriculum reflect that commitment.

The curriculum is built around Exeter’s distinctive “six pillars” of nursing: patient and public involvement; fundamental fundamentals of nursing care; evidence for practise; no health without mental health; leadership and management of healthcare; and global health. By the end of your studies, you will be able to work anywhere as a highly professional nurse capable of providing outstanding, comprehensive, person-centered, and evidence-based care in a real partnership with the individuals you care for.
