AROUND MID OF JULY

In the UK, candidates apply for (most) university courses through the UCAS system. Once this has been submitted, universities for nursing degrees will be in touch to invite candidates to an interview. This can take place as a one-on-one session with a single or several interviewers, could be a group interview with other candidates or could be the multiple mini interview (MMI) which has been used by medical schools for many years and is becoming more popular for prospective nurses.

Aside from the interview process, most nursing schools will test maths and English if candidates do not have GCSEs above a C grade or functional skills qualifications in these subjects.
