What you need to know

If applying for the PgCert, please specify on your application which two modules you want to complete.

Applications are considered for students wishing to undertake one module only, or if a nurse, as part of our MSc Nursing programme.

If you want to apply for a single module rather than the full PgCert, you will need to follow the 'Alternative Application Process' for post-qualifying health and social care courses.

English language requirements

International applicants will be required to show proficiency in English. An IELTS score of 6.5 (no element below 5.5) is proof of this. If you need to improve your written and spoken English, you might be interested in our English language courses.

Standard entry requirements

Undergraduate degree

You must have completed a relevant healthcare undergraduate programme and be an appropriately qualified healthcare professional actively connected to clinical practice. For example;

A qualified nurse
A dietitian
A pharmacist
A physiotherapist

Alternative entry requirements

Accreditation of Prior Learning (APL)

We welcome applications from students who may not have formal/traditional entry criteria but who have relevant experience or the ability to pursue the course successfully.

The Accreditation of Prior Learning (APL) process could help you to make your work and life experience count. The APL process can be used for entry onto courses or to give you exemptions from parts of your course.

Two forms of APL may be used for entry: the Accreditation of Prior Certificated Learning (APCL) or the Accreditation of Prior Experiential Learning (APEL).
