Alternatively we can accept a Bachelor (Ordinary) degree in nursing with distinction where registration is in an alternative field to the one you are wishing to study (e.g. child health or learning disability). There are two phases to the application process. In the first we assess your eligibility for the programme. If you are found to be eligible, you will then be asked to complete a pre-entry portfolio of approximately 2800 words to provide evidence of your relevant prior learning and experience related to the role of a nurse (a template and guidance will be provided).
