Course summary
How are the specific health needs of a child different to an adult? How can a child’s symptoms be understood through their behaviour and reactions? How can the whole family be supported through times of great change and stress? These are the questions you’ll be finding the answers to as a children’s nurse. Nursing infants, children and young people is challenging and rewarding. If you’re compassionate, sensitive and have quick, sound judgement then you’ll thrive in a career where you can truly make a difference to children’s lives.
Nursing is the largest healthcare profession in the country. As a qualified nurse you’ll be entering a highly respected profession with excellent employment prospects.
At Brunel, you’ll learn through an equal balance of theory and practice, gaining your professional experience in a variety of healthcare settings where you’ll work closely with other healthcare professionals, service users and their families.
On this programme, you’ll learn clinical and communication skills focused on paediatric nursing. Your placement opportunities will develop these skills and your understanding of caring in hospital and community settings. Brunel is a renowned research-intensive university with an established and excellent reputation in health sciences, so you’ll be learning from the best in the field. You’ll graduate ready to start shaping the future of children’s nursing.
Upon graduation, you’ll be eligible to register with the Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC).
As a nursing student, you'll receive at least £5,000 a year which you don't need to pay back. See the UK government website for more information. Find out more: https://www.nhsbsa.nhs.uk/nhs-learning-support-fund

Brunel University of LondonMedicineI am from Taiwan, and I am now a 3rd-year MBBS student at Brunel Medical School. My special interests in medicine include Immunology and Neurology. I chose to study Medicine because I love science and art, and Medicine is the perfect combination of both. I particularly love the Brunel MBBS Team-Based Learning model (TBL) as it guides my learning journey as a medical student very well. The early placement opportunity since Year 1 has been the most rewarding learning experience for me. Ariana
