Adult Nursing (Pre-registration)

You must have:

• 2:1 bachelor degree in a relevant subject. On occasions we may accept a 2:2 classification with substantial relevant experience.
• Maths and English GCSE at Grade C or above (no equivalents are accepted).
• Evidence of completing 550 hours of theory and 325 hours of practice in a healthcare setting, which is a Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC) requirement, in order to demonstrate that you can achieve all the required hours due to the intensive nature of the course. If you are successfully shortlisted on the course you will be required to complete the Accreditation of Prior Learning (APL) NMC template.
• For applicants whose first language or language of instruction is not English you will need to meet the minimum requirements of an English Language qualification. The minimum of IELTS 7.0 overall with no element lower than 7.0, will be considered acceptable, or equivalent.
• If you hold any other qualifications which are not listed, please contact us before applying for this course.
• Offers will be subject to an interview, an Occupational Health assessment and references. Please note all the information provided in support of your application may be checked and must be verifiable as a true record.
• You also need satisfactory enhanced Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS), occupational health clearances and APL (NMC) evidence prior to registration on the course. We arrange these as part of the application process. You will be required to sign a self-declaration at the start of each year and at the end of the course. All police contact during the course must be reported to the course leader as a matter of urgency and may lead to suspension or termination.

Please note: there are a limited number of places on the course and the demand is generally high, therefore we may not interview all applicants who meet the required entry criteria due to this competitive process.
