Grades advertised on each programme webpage are the typical level at which our offers are made and provide information on any specific subjects an applicant will need to have studied in order to be considered for a place on the programme. However, if we receive a large number of applications for the programme we may not be able to make an offer to all those who are predicted to achieve/have achieved grades which are in line with our typical offer. For more information on how applications are assessed and when decisions are released, please see: After you apply
Will there be an interview?
Yes: all shortlisted applicants will be invited to attend an interview between January and March.
The interview will be in the multiple mini interview format. This will consist of three stations which will assess your suitability for our programme.
Where an in-person interview takes place, you’ll also be able to take a campus tour. For virtual interviews, please visit our virtual tours.
All applications are considered on an individual basis and we’ll make offers shortly after an interview has taken place. A place on the course will not be offered to those who do not attend an interview.
Are there any non-academic requirements?
If you are successful in your interview, you will be required to complete a health questionnaire, then if you accept our offer you will be screened by our Occupational Health Department.
You may be required to attend a medical examination as part of the admissions process. You will be required to have up-to-date vaccination records for relevant inoculations in line with University requirements and those of your placement providers.
We require all nursing students to be immunised against certain infectious diseases to meet health and safety standards required to work with patients. You will need to provide evidence of two MMR jabs, and undergo tests to determine your Hepatitis B surface antigen, TB and HIV status.
Enrolled nursing students will be unable to undertake their studies without evidence of completion of the vaccination process.
As you may be working with vulnerable people in a variety of clinical settings throughout the degree programme, all offers are conditional upon a Criminal Conviction Self Declaration and an enhanced disclosure check via the Disclosure & Barring Service (formerly the Criminal Records Bureau). We will review all significant reports of convictions, cautions and verbal warnings and decide on your suitability to enter the programme.
All successful applicants will be required to sign the appropriate student agreement.
