Students should have a degree equivalent to UK second class honours (2:2 or above) in a health-related subject. Other subjects may be considered on an individual basis. They will also need GCSEs at Grade C or Grade 4 or above (or equivalent) in English Language and Mathematics. Eligible candidates must provide evidence of study within the five years prior to application and be able to demonstrate relevant voluntary/work experience. An interview forms part of the selection process. Pre-registration nursing programmes are typically at least three years in duration so, in order to join this two-year MSc, students will need to demonstrate prior learning. In order to meet the Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) requirements of this programme, students will be expected to provide a portfolio of evidence to demonstrate how they have met a minimum of 500 hours of appropriate voluntary or occupational experience.
