What you will study

The course consists of 60 SQQF credits at level 9 and 10. It has two routes BSc Healthcare Practice and BSc Healthcare Practice (Nursing) for registered nurses. Two of the modules, Lifelong Learning for Effective Practice and Leadership and Change, are core to both routes and studied together encouraging interprofessional learning and collaborative practice.

Career pathways

With the changing context of healthcare and the fact that current healthcare professionals at the point of registration enter the profession with a first degree, many health and social care organisations are encouraging their existing workforce to top up their educational level to first degree. RGU developed this course to address specific skill requirements and to drive employability, supporting you to thrive throughout your career.
