Overall programme structure

The OU programme has three stages which correspond to the NMC progression points 1, 2 and eligibility to apply for entry to the register. Your student will be working towards registration in either adult nursing or mental health nursing. Each stage consists of a theory module(s) and a practice module.

It is easier to understand how the modules are sequenced and the hours distributed by looking at diagrams and tables – see the NMC curriculum hours table.
