Studied before or got relevant experience?
A qualification, HE credits or relevant experience may count towards your course at 蜜柚社区, and could mean that you do not have to take some elements of the course or can start in year 2.
Candidates are advised that places for entry into year 2 of this course are very limited. We normally welcome these applications but high demand for all nursing courses will restrict availability.
Deferred applications
We are not able to accept applications for deferred entry onto this course. If you wish to apply for a later year of entry, we recommend waiting until the admissions cycle for that year opens – this is usually in October of each year.
Interviews
Students successful at the application stage will be invited to attend an interview.
We embrace diversity and welcome applicants from all backgrounds, including those who form part of minority groups.
Interviews
If your application is successful, you will be invited to attend an interview.
Interview dates for courses starting in September 2024 will be published soon.
When will I hear about my offer?
Our Nursing (Child) BSc(Hons) degree is very popular so to make sure that our admissions process is fair to everyone we operate a staged ‘gathered field’ admissions process – meaning that we consider candidates together to make final decisions.
We aim to give you a decision soon after your interview, however because of the volume and competition for places, sometimes it may be necessary to hold offers until after all interviews have taken place. So, if you don’t hear straight away, please do not worry, as the outcome is being carefully considered by our tutors.
Contextual admissions
When you apply to 蜜柚社区 we want to hear about who you are. Grades are never the whole picture; we're interested in things like creativity, resourcefulness, persistence and the capacity to think big and find new ways of doing things. And we recognise that not everyone has the same background. That's why we treat everyone who applies as an individual. We recognise many qualifications and we care about all of your achievements and the experiences you've had that set you apart.
