About this course
**Why study this course?**
Passionate about helping people? This adult nursing degree will give compassionate individuals the relevant knowledge, skills and attitude required to start a rewarding career caring for those in need.
As an adult nurse, you’ll play a crucial role in providing care to people in the immediate London community and beyond.
During this course you’ll cover a wide range of topics and learn about the physiology of the human body in health and disease across a lifetime, enabling you to provide effective care through evidence-based treatment. You’ll study psychological and sociological topics which will give you insight and understanding of the effects of society and lifestyle on health and mental health and the importance of promoting healthy lifestyles to stay fit, well, and able. Pharmacology is another key aspect of the course, enabling you to develop your understanding around how medications are used to treat disease, as well as the principles of nurse prescribing. You will learn a wide range of clinical skills required to take care of adults with acute, short and long term conditions effectively.
When you study this Nursing (Adult) BSc (Hons) at London Met, you can expect to:

At London Met, we’re committed to giving back to our community and embedding social justice into our curriculum. This means you’ll experience local initiatives which strengthen community health provision and relationships, such as London Met’s Refugee Assessment and Guidance Unit, and take part in our range of in-house clinic provisions.
We’ve designed this adult nursing course with your career prospects in mind. You’ll work alongside and be assessed by registered nurses and members of allied health professions, ensuring you are able to provide safe, effective and interdisciplinary care during your studies and into your nursing career.
Assessment methods
Students will be assessed through a variety of methods (assessment components) including skills assessment in real-time and simulated practice settings. You'll be assessed through a range of different assessment methods, such as oral seminar, and poster presentations, Objective Structured Clinical Examinations (OSCE), case studies, practical reports, seen/unseen examinations and in-class tests, as well as literature reviews and essays.
In clinical practice and simulation settings, student nurses will be assessed by a suitably qualified Practice Assessor or Nurse Lecturer according to the Standards for Student Supervision and Assessment (NMC 2018). We'll use the pan-London Practice Learning group electronic practice assessment document (ePAD), which has been validated and approved by the Nursing and Midwifery Council for assessing student learning and assessment of skills and professional values in practice. Transferable skills will be embedded in the learning outcomes of the core modules.
