Health and Wellbeing (Nursing Associate) Foundation Degree in Arts - FdA

The University of Suffolk boasts extensive experience in administering Foundation Degrees, along with several pre-registration programmes, including Nursing Associates, Nursing, Midwifery, Radiography, and Social Work. This experience, coupled with substantial input from employers, has influenced the structure and content of new programme.

A pivotal element is the collaboration between the University and local healthcare providers within the NHS, private, voluntary, and independent sectors. This partnership allows you to learn while employed, combining classroom-based theory with practical experience through work-based learning.
