A NEW degree designed to prepare the nursing generation of tomorrow is launching today at the University of Sunderland.

The new Blended Learning Nursing Degree Programme offers an innovative and flexible approach for those hoping to join the profession.

The programme, which is recruiting now and will start from May 2021, is designed to create a significantly different offer in nursing education that will establish a professional nurse workforce suited to the demands of care and service now and in the future.

It is hoped the flexibility of the course will appeal to students of all ages who may not have previously felt able to commit to a campus-based programme.

The importance of the nursing profession has been highlighted by the pandemic and the University is continuing to play a leading role in providing the workforce with the best trained nurses and healthcare professionals.

This innovative approach maximises the opportunities to provide a fully interactive and innovative programme through a digital approach.
