Bachelor's degree in any subject with 2:1 honours and 575 hours (approximately equivalent to four months FT) healthcare-related experience. Placements that have been undertaken as part of a previous undergraduate degree are also acceptable.

Applicants who have achieved a high 2:2 overall (55-59%) may still be considered, however please bear in mind that many applicants meet the minimum entry requirement and so all applications are considered within a competitive environment. As such, those meeting the entry requirements with a 2:1 will be viewed more favourably. Applicants with a high 2:2 who wish to apply will need to ensure they include their grades for each module for all years of study on their application, or send a transcript of all years of study via King's Apply shortly after applying.

GCSE requirements
Grade C/4 or above in GCSE Maths and English, or equivalent. Functional Skills English level 2 at Pass and Functional Skills Maths level 2 at Pass are considered equivalent to GCSE English Language and GCSE Mathematics. It is highly desirable for applicants to have studied Biology or Human Science to GCSE level or equivalent.

International equivalents can also be considered. If you are an international student who did not study GCSEs/IGCSEs as part of your qualifications, then we will look for evidence of equivalency in your studies

Personal statement
Your personal statement is one of the many factors in the overall assessment of your application, and is your opportunity to introduce yourself to the university and inform us of your commitment to the programme and how the programme fits into your career plans, as well as any work experience or extracurricular activities you have done. We are looking particularly for evidence of appropriate commitment to, and realistic appreciation of, the academic, physical and emotional demands of a Nursing degree programme and career.

The interview
No offers are made without an interview. Interviews are held between November and May and you must be available for interview in order to be considered for admission. A large number of applications are received for Nursing and although we recognise that this is an anxious time for you, all applications are carefully considered and therefore you should not expect a decision post-interview until the cycle has completed in May.

IELTS - 7.0 overall with a minimum of 6.5 in each skill
TOEFL - 100 overall with a minimum of 25 in writing and 23 in each of the other skills. All TOEFL test results must be provided via King's Apply.
