Admission requirements

48+
All students apply through UCAS. Students will require 48 UCAS tariff points to access the programme.
Plus:
GCSE/IGCSE English language and maths grades 9-4/A*-C or equivalent (if you do not have the Maths requirement on entry, we will support you to gain this over the foundation year. This must be passed in order to progress onto the BSc Nursing course).
Candidates must have achieved these before commencing on the three year programme.
Candidates must also complete an Enhanced Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) check which must be satisfactory prior to commencing the course.
The Admissions team will use the entrance criteria, as well as the personal statement, reference and work experience information, to shortlist candidates for interview. Successful applicants will be invited to an interview– Candidates will be assessed on their motivation and understanding of the role of a nurse and familiarity with the NHS Constitution and Values and the requirements of an NMC registered nurse.
Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) and Recognition of Prior Experiential Learning (RPEL) can be applied for providing this does not exceed 50% of the programme. The only exception to this is if you are an existing registered nurse and you wish to gain an alternative qualification in a different field of practice. In this instance more than 50% RPL/RPEL can be applied for. All RPL claims for NMC programmes are scrutinised on an individual basis and are also assessed by an external examiner as part of the School of Nursing and Allied RPL/RPEL process.
Health checks
In order to progress to the first year of the BSc Nursing course, you will be required to provide information about your immunity and vaccination status. Candidates must prove they have been immunised against Rubella, Measles, Tuberculosis and Hepatitis B.
