UCW is excited to announce the launch of a new Degree Apprenticeship in May 2025 (subject to final approval as pending from the Nursing and Midwifery Council). This new Registered Nurse Degree Apprenticeship (RNDA), in partnership with UWE Bristol, is an initiative to help support the NHS Long Term Workforce Development Plan – providing a clear career pathway within nursing.
The aim of the Registered Nurse Degree Apprenticeship (RNDA) is to offer an alternative route to obtaining a nursing degree and to support the progression of those who have already completed Nursing Associate or Assistant Practitioner programmes, and who would like to continue to study to obtain a nursing degree.
By opening new routes to become a Registered Nurse, this Degree Apprenticeship is a response to employer demand and increases the capacity and capability of the nursing workforce by ensuring that the right person with the right level of skills and education is delivering the right care to patients.
At Weston College, we have invested over £11 million into our technical facilities to create employer-led, high-specification, future-proofed delivery spaces at our UCW site for training the existing and future workforce. Investment has also been made into additional high-spec computer technology (hardware and software) ensuring facilities and equipment match industry requirements and expectations.
If you would like to register to apply for this upcoming Degree Apprenticeship, please email apprenticeships@weston.ac.uk
