Legal & General Bridge to Nursing
The Talent Foundry is working alongside the NHS, Teesside University, Middlesbrough Council and TVCA to deliver Bridge to Nursing, a unique pre-degree programme offering students bespoke training and coaching to prepare them for applications to nursing degrees at Teesside University.
What's involved?
Students will take part in five workshops during which they will learn directly from NHS nurses, Teesside University academic staff and student ambassadors.
Each workshop is fully facilitated by one of our TTF facilitators and each student will benefit from 1-to-1 coaching throughout the programme and the UCAS application process.
Nursing degrees also require an interview, and significant support and guidance will be provided for this.
