Entry requirements

To be eligible for the programme

  • You must be a registered nurse or midwife on the register in your country of practice.
  • All applicants must hold a bachelor degree. If you do not hold a bachelor degree, there is a recognition of prior learning (RPL) pathway outlined below. Please note: If you do not hold a Level 8 qualification, you may still be eligible to join the programme through our pathway programme. Please contact us for further information on this route. Recognition of prior learning (RPL) Learning occurs in many contexts including work, involvement in social and community activities, and learning through life experience generally. Recognition of prior learning (RPL) does not give credit for experience as such – rather, it considers learning that was acquired as a result of the experience. RPL may be used to gain admission to programmes where you may not have obtained the standard entry requirements. This is considered on a case-by-case basis. Exemptions from programme modules that duplicate learning already demonstrably acquired through prior learning may also be considered on a case-by-case basis.
