English Language, Mathematics and Science are required at GCSE/iGCSE level with a minimum Grade of C or 4.

Please note that we do not accept Functional Skills 2 or equivalent qualifications in place of GCSE English and Maths.

All applicants to the University (from the UK and Overseas) are required to show evidence of English Language proficiency.  The minimum English Language requirement for this course is either:

• GCSE/iGCSE English Language grade C/4 or;
• 7.0 with a minimum of 7.0 in reading, listening and speaking and 6.5 in writing;
• An acceptable equivalent qualification.

The UK Visas and Immigration (UKVI) requires that every student from outside the UK and the EU must show evidence of a minimum level of English Language in order to be granted a UK visa (Tier 4 visa) to study at undergraduate or postgraduate level. This level is often referred to as the 'B2 level'.

Additionally, our individual Schools may ask for specific English Language proficiency levels that are necessary for their academic programmes. In most cases these requirements are likely to be higher than the B2 level. Further information about our English Language policy, including a list of some of the English Language qualifications we accept, can be found  here

Some English Language test results are only valid for two years. Your English Language test report must be valid on the start date of the course.

As nursing involves many skills, work experience from a range of areas is relevant - but not mandatory - to this course, including paid employment or voluntary work.

This may include direct experience in a healthcare setting and/or other settings that involve the use of communication skills.
