During your studies, you learn how to respond to the holistic health care needs of children, young people and their family and / or carers. We also encourage collaboration with other professionals from health, social care and education to deliver an excellent standard of care. 

From the beginning, we prioritise your employability alongside your education. To make you a ‘career-ready’ graduate, you receive guidance throughout your studies from our teaching staff and clinical practice placements.

Career opportunities

How we nurse children and young people in the community is constantly changing, creating new career opportunities for Child Health Nurses.  

Once your course is completed you can apply to work locally, regionally or nationally in a variety of settings – Acute Hospital Trusts, Community Trusts, Nurse Education and research, for instance.

Every module on the course is mapped against NMC Standards of Competency, QAA Benchmarks Healthcare Professions, QAA Benchmarks for Nursing, and Graduate Headstart Employability Skills. This ensures you also learn transferable knowledge required by many other types of employers.

Travelling abroad also boosts your employability, exposing you to new experiences and perspectives. For example, in 2017 two University of Suffolk students spent a week at Keio University in Tokyo, Japan as part of a a knowledge exchange programme, primarily theory-based. Whilst attending the week-long programme, they were able to meet students from Japan, Korea and China to discuss aspects of healthcare such as healthy aging. The students funded their visits personally.
