Nursing and midwifery

You'll have access to a range of modern facilities, including our Clinical Skills and Simulation Suite, clinical skills rooms, Midwifery Care and Delivery Suite and Flexible Learning Environment. For the duration of the course, nursing students are either based at Falmer in Brighton (our west site) or at Eastbourne (our east site). Midwifery students are based at Eastbourne.

To ensure you can confidently apply theory to practice, you will spend 50% of your year on placements with local NHS trusts and other health and social care providers in a variety of settings. Clinical placements take place across Sussex in locations including Hastings, Eastbourne, Brighton, Haywards Heath and Worthing.

Our courses offer an excellent foundation for working in a range of health contexts, in both hospital and community settings, and for further professional development in clinical practice, education, management and research.

You'll share learning, knowledge and expertise with students on other health courses, benefiting from interprofessional collaboration and preparing for work in multidisciplinary healthcare teams.
