ALTERNATIVE PATHWAY FOR STUDENTS NOT COMPLETING FOURTH UNIVERSITY EXAMINATION IN NURSING

The BSc (Hons) Health Studies, NFQ Level 8, is an honours bachelors' degree pathway for students who do not satisfy the pass standard for the Part B practice module in the chosen area of specialisation (NU4094). Students who do not pass the Part B practice module for Year 4 of the BSc (Hons) Nursing (Mental Health) either on the first and repeat attempts as per the module descriptor will re-register for the non-clinical BSc (Hons) Health Studies. This pathway does not confer eligibility to practice as a Registered Nurse.

To complete the BSc Health Studies, a student must pass all Part A modules for the fourth-year BSc Nursing Examinations and achieve a pass in the Part B independent study module NU4091 (15 credits).
