Aspiring Nurses - Pre-Graduate Scheme
This programme supports talented Man Met students – from any discipline or subject – to transition into a career in Nursing. Through the programme you will gain:
- Careers Insights into Nursing, and some of the ways you can advantage yourself in the applications process.
- Relevant Skills with a training programme related to wellbeing and befriending, and an understanding of how these are applied by practicing nurses.
- Practical Experience with a short placement or project with an organisation* supporting people in the community. This will enable you to appreciate the full range of contexts in which Nurses work. You will be expected to play a proactive role, enhancing the organisations ability to offer emotional and social support.
The programme will combine on-campus sessions, self-study and placement work as set out in the schedule. On completing the course you will receive 250 points – with the opportunity to earn a further 160 with the recommended self-study kits.
Completing this programme will help support your application to MSc Nursing and you will be able to demonstrate a full understanding of the role and skills required to be successful in these professions.
*Please be aware you will need to complete a DBS clearance check to take part in the placement element of this programme, this will be completed after the advertisement is closed & will be paid for by the programme – however you will need to provide documentation for this.
This activity is a Man Met Rise Pre-Graduate Scheme: Whilst conventional graduate schemes start when you finish University and secure a job, through Man Met Rise we make this kind of experience and training available to you before you leave us. We want to give you every advantage in accelerating your career towards your goal.
