Regulated by the Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC), this could be just the course to help you pursue a rewarding career working with children and young people.
This Nursing course provides a flexible way, via digital technologies, to study; you are required to attend campus for a maximum of 20 days per year.
You’ll benefit from placement opportunities in a variety of settings close to your home.

Providing care for children, young people, and their families, child nursing is a rewarding career choice. If you feel you could provide committed, compassionate, and professional care to those who need it most, our Nursing (Blended Learning) Child BSc(Hons) course could be the right degree for you.

This course is designed for those located within the North East, Yorkshire and the Humber, Cheshire and Merseyside, North West, Cumbria or North Lincolnshire. If you are located outside these areas, please visit Health Education England for information on your nearest course provider.

From the very start of this course, you’ll get the chance to develop the vital skills, values, and confidence needed to care for children, young people, and their families, whatever their circumstances. This includes those with acute illness, long-term conditions or those who need help to maintain their health.

Why study Nursing (Blended Learning) Child BSc(Hons)

You’ll learn in an innovative environment, supported by experienced practitioners and tutors, and the course – regulated by the Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC) ¬– is designed for those who wish to fit in their studies around other life commitments.

This course provides a flexible way to study, using mainly digital technologies; it also incorporates practical, hands-on experience. You’ll attend the campus in Huddersfield for a maximum total of 20 days per year of the course. This provides the opportunity for you to put your skills into practice in a safe and controlled environment in our children’s ward, using patient simulators and attending occupational health sessions and mandatory training.

Clinical placements also provide opportunities for you to put what you’ve learned into practice in a variety of acute settings close to your home, such as children's wards, accident and emergency departments, and neonatal intensive care. Opportunities are available to work with specialist nurses in a range of community settings, including health centres, children's hospices, as well as mainstream and specialist schools.

You’ll have an opportunity to borrow a clinical skills kit at the start of your course, as well, to familiarise yourself with some fundamental equipment you may use in practice.

You’ll have the opportunity to hear first-hand experiences and viewpoints from service users and carers, who are part of the Public Partnership Group and be taught by experienced practitioners and tutors. You’ll learn online through seminars and group work, and have the chance to be part of an online community, where you can showcase your work, establish relationships with tutors, and collaborate with peers. You’ll also learn through independent, self-directed study, developing confidence in your self-discipline and organisational skills.

In 2024, the University’s new Daphne Steele Building will open on the site of the National Health Innovation campus. This will allow our child nursing students to enhance their learning by benefiting from specialist clinical teaching facilities and world-leading research facilities.

After successful completion of this degree, you can apply to register with the Nursing and Midwifery Council, and work as a Registered Nurse for Children.

Students on this course may be eligible to receive a non-repayable grant of at least £5,000 each year – find out more on the NHS Learning Support Fund website.

You'll be taught by a team who really understand what it is like be a child nurse and are able to demonstrate the latest techniques and procedures, whilst supporting you to put these skills and qualities into practice.

Learning and teaching on this course is delivered online through seminars, group work, simulation and practical skills experience. The modules have been designed to embed transferable skills and enable you to progressively increase your knowledge and confidence. You'll have the opportunity to engage in immersive situated activities through simulation-based learning (SBL) supported by facilitation. Each year you'll undertake a maximum of four one-week blocks of simulation, which will be dedicated weeks for simulation-based learning. Your studies will also be supported by the University's virtual learning environment.

The assessment methods on the course are varied and involve a combination of coursework, practice/proficiency-based learning, reports, presentations, and examinations. The nature of assessment varies between modules mirroring the modes of communication expected of graduates in this field, such as the ability to present to a range of audiences and provide reports to enhance the quality of care.

Feedback (usually written) is normally provided on all coursework submissions within three term time weeks – unless the submission was made towards the end of the session in which case feedback would be available on request after the formal publication of results. Feedback on exam performance/final coursework is available on request after the publication of results.

Laboratory sessions, classroom based learning and the use of simulated patients enable you to practice your skills in a safe and controlled environment. You’ll undertake practice placement experiences, where you’ll learn and be assessed in a real practice setting, under the supervision of appropriately qualified practice supervisors, practice assessors and academic assessors. You’ll be assessed whilst on placement through a Practice Assessment Document (PAD).

Throughout the course you’ll also have access to a Personal Development Plan, where you can identify your strengths and weaknesses, construct a record of achievement documenting the acquisition of knowledge, skills and competencies, as well as reflect and act upon your personal, professional, academic and long term career goals.

Further information

Once you’ve submitted your application form to UCAS you may be invited to attend an interview.

Your breaks will be interspersed throughout the year depending on what stage you have reached in the three year course. Timetables are normally available one month before registration. This is a full-time online course, so you may have to engage every day of the week.

Your course is made up of modules and each module is worth a number of credits. Each year you study core modules to the value of 120 credits, adding up to 360 credits in total for a bachelor’s qualification.

If you achieve 120 credits for the current stage you are at, you may progress to the next stage of your course, subject to any professional, statutory or regulatory body guidelines.

Teaching excellence

The University of Huddersfield has been rated Gold in all three aspects of the Teaching Excellence Framework (TEF) 2023. We were the only university in Yorkshire and the Humber and the North West to achieve Gold ratings in all three aspects of the TEF among those announced in September 2023. In fact only 13 Universities, out of the 96 that were announced in September 2023, were Gold in all three ratings.
Further proof of teaching excellence: our staff rank in the top three in England for the proportion who hold doctorates, who have higher degrees, and hold teaching qualifications (HESA 2024). So, you’ll learn from some of the best, helping you to be the best.
We are first in the country for National Teaching Fellowships, which mark the UK’s best lecturers in Higher Education, winning a total of 22 since 2008 (2023 data).

Important information

We will always try to deliver your course as described on this web page. However, sometimes we may have to make changes as set out below.

Changes to a course you have applied for

If we propose to make a major change to a course that you are holding an offer for, then we will tell you as soon as possible so that you can decide whether to withdraw your application prior to enrolment.

Cancellation of a course you have applied for

Although we always try and run all of the course we offer, we may occasionally have to withdraw a course you have applied for or combine your programme with another programme if we consider this reasonably necessary to ensure a good student experience, for example if there are not enough applicants to ensure you have a good learning experience. Where this is the case we will notify you as soon as reasonably possible and we will contact you to discuss other suitable courses with us we can transfer your application to. If we notify you that the course you have applied to has been withdrawn or combined, and you do not wish to transfer to another course with us, you may cancel your application and we will refund you any deposits or fees you have paid to us.

Changes to your course after you enrol as a student

We will always try to deliver your course and other services as described. However, sometimes we may have to make changes as set out below:

Changes to option modules

Where your course allows you to choose modules from a range of options, we will review these each year and change them to reflect the expertise of our staff, current trends in research and as a result of student feedback or demand for certain modules. We will always ensure that you have a range of options to choose from and we will let you know in good time the options available for you to choose for the following year.

Major changes

We will only make major changes to the core curriculum of a course or to our services if it is necessary for us to do so and provided such changes are reasonable. A major change in this context is a change that materially changes the services available to you; or the outcomes, or a significant part, of your course, such as the nature of the award or a substantial change to module content, teaching days (part time provision), classes, type of delivery or assessment of the core curriculum.

For example, it may be necessary to make a major change to reflect changes in the law or the requirements of the University’s regulators; to meet the latest requirements of a commissioning or accrediting body; to improve the quality of educational provision; in response to student, examiners’ or other course evaluators’ feedback; and/or to reflect academic or professional changes within subject areas. Major changes may also be necessary because of circumstances outside our reasonable control, such as a key member of staff leaving the University or being unable to teach, where they have a particular specialism that can’t be adequately covered by other members of staff; or due to damage or interruption to buildings, facilities or equipment.

Major changes would usually be made with effect from the next academic year, but this may not always be the case. We will notify you as soon as possible should we need to make a major change and will carry out suitable consultation with affected students. If you reasonably believe that the proposed change will cause you detriment or hardship we will, if appropriate, work with you to try to reduce the adverse effect on you or find an appropriate solution. Where an appropriate solution cannot be found and you contact us in writing before the change takes effect you can cancel your registration and withdraw from the University without liability to the University for future tuition fees. We will provide reasonable support to assist you with transferring to another university if you wish to do so.

Termination of course

In exceptional circumstances, we may, for reasons outside of our control, be forced to discontinue or suspend your course. Where this is the case, a formal exit strategy will be followed and we will notify you as soon as possible about what your options are, which may include transferring to a suitable replacement course for which you are qualified, being provided with individual teaching to complete the award for which you were registered, or claiming an interim award and exiting the University. If you do not wish to take up any of the options that are made available to you, then you can cancel your registration and withdraw from the course without liability to the University for future tuition fees and you will be entitled to a refund of all course fees paid to date. We will provide reasonable support to assist you with transferring to another university if you wish to do so.

When you enrol as a student of the University, your study and time with us will be governed by a framework of regulations, policies and procedures, which form the basis of your agreement with us. These include regulations regarding the assessment of your course, academic integrity, your conduct (including attendance) and disciplinary procedure, fees and finance and compliance with visa requirements (where relevant). It is important that you familiarise yourself with these as you will be asked to agree to abide by them when you join us as a student. You will find a guide to the key terms here, along with the Student Protection Plan, where you will also find links to the full text of each of the regulations, policies and procedures referred to. You should read these carefully before you enrol. Please note that this information is subject to change and you are advised to check our website regularly for any changes before you enrol at the University. A person who is not party to this agreement shall not have any rights under or in connection with it. Only you and the University shall have any right to enforce or rely on the agreement.
