Foundation

Nursing Associate Practice

UK University

Overview

This page covers Nursing Associate Practice across the departments we work with, including what each asks for and what it charges. It is a one year foundation course, the year before an undergraduate degree begins.

Teaching in Nursing combines taught modules with placement or laboratory time, and the placement element is what varies most between departments.

Applications open around a year ahead of the intake. Getting the documents together early is what keeps the September date realistic.
