This three-year degree programme integrates theory and practice, preparing students to be world-class practitioners in the area of Learning Disability Nursing.

Students will spend 50 per cent of their time in class learning the latest nursing theory and clinical skills, and 50 per cent of their time with one of the internationally-recognised training partners in a wide variety of clinical and community settings throughout Northern Ireland.

The highly-trained lecturing staff are actively engaged in areas of speciality practice, and the personal tutor system for student support is very well regarded. There are also opportunities for elective placements with one of our international partners in the final year of study.

On successful completion of this programme of study, students will become a Registered Nurse in Learning Disabilities (RNLD) possessing a distinct set of knowledge, skills and expertise of the health and wider education and social care needs of people with learning disabilities and their families and carers in the context of person-centred care and co-production that promotes and maintains health and well-being.
