    About

    Our top-up degree is for nurses who wish to pursue a career as a specialist practitioner in district nursing. This course combines the study of health and policy with research and evidence-based practice to develop your skills in this specialist field of nursing.

    You spend half of your learning time in practical work placements, where you are assessed by qualified practitioners. The other half is spent learning nursing theory in our state-of-the-art laboratories on campus. Our work placements often result in employment for students through the trusts they are sponsored by.

    Receiving an offer

    If you meet the entry criteria, you may receive an unconditional offer. If you have yet to meet a condition, such as IELTS score of 6.0, or if you have to complete an academic qualification, you will receive a conditional offer subject to you satisfying that condition.

    If you do not meet the requirements, you may be offered a place on a more suitable course.

    If you applied through a representative, the offer will be addressed to you and sent to their office.

    All offers are sent electronically to either our agent or direct to your e-mail account. Only authorised University of Greenwich staff can make offers of courses. Normally, this means course directors and admissions tutors. The International Office makes offers for courses up to and including Master's degree level. In-country representatives do not make offers, but will pass on offers made by the university.

    Accepting your offer

    If you wish to accept the offer, please sign and return the acceptance of place, accompanied by the pre-registration deposit.

    As soon as you fulfil any academic conditions of your offer, it is important you send us your documentation, so that we can qualify your offer as unconditional. Following this, we can initiate the process assisting you to obtain your Confirmation of Acceptance of Studies (CAS) reference number, you will be sent a CAS checking sheet, which you must check, complete and return as soon as you can. We will then be able to issue a CAS statement containing your CAS number.

    Please note: All applicants making student visa applications from outside the EEA/EU, or who are already studying in the UK and applying for a new course, require an electronic Confirmation of Acceptance of Studies (CAS) reference number instead of a visa letter.
