Nursing at the University Ranked in the UK's Top 10
Wednesday, 14 September 2011
Nursing at the University of Worcester has been ranked seventh in the UK in the latest Sunday Times Good University Guide.
Analysis of the league tables has revealed that the University has one of the highest employment rates in nursing, at 100%, and one of the highest rates of First class degrees, at 62.4%, nationally.
Overall the University is ranked at seventh in the UK and top in the West Midlands. The University also topped the West Midlands for nursing in the recent National Student Survey.
Robert Dudley, Head of Pre-Registration Nursing at the University, said: “This is testament to all the hard work by our staff and students. We strive to ensure that our nursing degree is the best it can be with first class facilities, placements and teaching.
“We work very closely with our partners in the NHS to give students the best possible start to their nursing careers and we are proud to be able to educate some of the best nurses entering the profession today.”
Earlier this year the Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC) rated the University of Worcester’s training as ‘good’, the best possible grade, in all five areas of its Annual Monitoring Review.
In partnership with the hospitals, Trusts and health care providers, the University of Worcester is the only educator of nurses and midwives in Herefordshire and Worcestershire.
