BSc Professional Practice in Healthcare (top-up)

The University of Wolverhampton has a long and successful history in academia, priding itself on being the university of opportunity. 

Inclusivity is central to the university’s ethos. The university offers a wide range of undergraduate and postgraduate courses, many of which are accredited by professional regulatory bodies. 

We’ve continued to expand our global reach, working with institutions around the world to deliver University-approved courses and internationally recognised qualifications. 

We’ve invested millions of pounds across our campuses to ensure that our facilities for students are cutting-edge and world-class. It is providing students with industry-leading technology and experiences to equip them with the skills needed for a career on the frontline, as well as enabling those already working in the health and social care sector to gain new skills.  

The University of Wolverhampton is a central location at the hub of the UK transport network, within easy reach of Birmingham, Manchester and London. 

As part of your studies, you will encounter a range of activities designed to promote and enhance your learning experience. Our use of blended learning activities encourages you to identify and address learning needs related to your practice. The virtual learning environment platform actively supports the module delivery and achievement of the learning outcomes to enhance the learning experience. You will be encouraged to access other learning resources, including online discussion forums, to communicate and share ideas related to the module objectives. 

The ability to use digital resources and equipment is a key attribute of a graduate nurse and reflects the need for healthcare staff to use advanced technologies in areas such as record keeping, delivery and management of care. 

Workplace learning: We hope that as you develop graduate skills during your programme of study, you will be able to apply these skills in the practice setting. You will be able to reflect on personal and professional learning, the development of knowledge and skills, and identify strategies to influence healthcare in the future.
