Nursing, University of Cumbria

Course is brilliant, very intense but has to be expected from the nature of the course. All the staff have been in healthcare careers prior so they understand the struggle and want to make the nurses better. Tuition fees are covered by the NHS which is a huge help and you're also entitled to an NHS bursary which helps a lot too. Job prospects are major, nurses are needed everywhere and are constantly advertised for

We do over 4,000 hours work placement in 3 years, other courses like at Uclan do only 3,000 hours. The teaching at the university is intense but very good! The tutors are supportive and friendly. The university has a great rep as it was st Martins college which Founded in 1964, over 40 years worth of students gained their degree at St. Martin's in subjects from teaching to NHS-related training. With so many students, we have plenty of memories to share about the college. It doesn't have the best rep yet as it is only 10 years old as a university and the student life is not as good as it is in Cumbria and Lancaster - What do you expect? I know going to this university will help me reach my full potential, as I have been to two universities now and this is the best one for education. I'm 24 now, so I'm not fussed on the student life. I am more interested in the education and career prospects. I hope this helps!

Grading based on the RTP in nursing. In short it was a shambles with complete disregard to one's autonomy in that without warning or explanation we found ourselves being interviewed by a member of a third party organisation who had made financial contribution to the course in exchange for our engagement with him. It was as if one had been sold or at best traded for financial reward only we received no benefit from it.

It's good but because there's not many child students it's all very adult focused. However after complaining they are trying to improve that.
