Nursing Carmarthen

Course Overview

Our internationally recognised Adult Nursing degree course will give you the skills and experience to launch a rewarding career in this diverse and essential profession.

Over the course of this carefully-integrated, three year BSc programme, you will learn about the holistic needs of people from early adulthood through to geriatrics.

As you progress, you will develop the skills to assess, plan, deliver, and evaluate evidence-based care to promote the health and wellbeing of adults with acute and chronic conditions.

Based at our St David’s Park campus in Carmarthen, half of your teaching will take place in the university and the other half in healthcare settings. We have excellent working relationships with many healthcare providers, so you will have access to a wide range of clinical experiences across southwest Wales. These include placements in the NHS and independent sector in hospitals and community settings.
