Nursing (Adult, Child, and Mental Health)

Nursing at Lincoln

Nurses perform a vital role in 21st Century healthcare, in both primary and secondary care settings, restoring and promoting health, supporting patients and their families, and profiling healthcare needs of communities. 

Our professionally accredited programmes enable you to become a registered nurse with the Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC). The programmes aim to prepare students to become fit for practice in accordance with the NMC's Standards for Pre-registration Nursing Education and to be eligible to register as a qualified nurse. Students are encouraged to become confident, critically analytical advocates of excellence in nursing practice within their respective specialisms.

Practice Placements

Practice placements are an integral part of the University of Lincoln's Health and Social Care programmes where students will spend part of their course learning in a real-world setting. The opportunity to learn while taking on the roles and responsibilities of the workplace allows our students to apply the theory they have learnt and develop their practical skills within a real environment.

Registered Nurse at United Lincolnshire Hospitals Trust


Studying at Lincoln was the best three years of my academic life. My advice would be to absorb and relish every second. I feel Lincoln has some fantastic support networks and opportunities that just can’t be missed.
