Adult Nursing

Changes to education of nurses

The regulating body for nurses in the UK (The Nursing and Midwifery Council) dictate that from 2013 all pre-registration nurses must be educated to degree level. At Anglia Ruskin University the 'All Graduate' programme commenced in September 2011. Any student who commenced from this date will undertake the 'All Graduate' programme. There will however still be many students who started before this date who will continue with their nursing studies at diploma level .
