Opportunities Abroad

The University of Northampton is one of only four universities in the country to belong to the European Nursing Module. This offers the possibility of a two week placement in one of around 24 different European countries.

You can experience a different health system, culture and life experience and gain an insight into the issues that are faced in an overseas nursing environment. This opportunity is available at a specifically negotiated time during your course, usually within the second or third stage of study.

Please note that you will have to meet the entire costs of this module yourself including flights, accommodation, food and travel within these countries where possible costs are kept to a minimum and financial help is available. The cost of the placement is dependent on the country you choose, it can range from approximately £500-800.

The two weeks spent overseas for this module count as placement hours as agreed with the NMC.

The University of Northampton is one of only three universities that offer this module as well as the 11 week Erasmus placement.

In addition to the European placements, we also provide the opportunity to experience nursing on an international platform. Please ask at an Open day for further information.

Methods of Learning

The course is split equally between practical placements and taught sessions on campus. Each module has specific time dedicated to face-to-face teaching and self-directed study. There is approximately 90 hours of face-to-face teaching in the first year of the course, this is reduced each year allowing you to become more confident in your knowledge and to hone your study techniques. You will be required to complete preliminary work for your sessions, much of this work will be facilitated through our virtual learning environment (NILE).

For more information, please view this video which explains our active blended approach.

Assessments

You will be continuously assessed throughout this course to test your knowledge. Placements will also be assessed to ensure that you can effectively apply theory into practice within a healthcare environment.
