Two satisfactory references (one of which should be academic). Evidence of recent assessed study or relevant CPD activities within the last five years. Evidence of digital literacy.

English language requirements: Applicants from countries that are not included on the NMC’s list of accepted English Speaking Countries will be required to demonstrate English proficiency by gaining an English Language qualification; such as IELTS or equivalent. An IELTS (International English Language Testing Score) overall score of 7.0 is required, with a minimum of 6.5 in writing and 7.0 in the other three components. However, if an international applicant wishes to study using a student route visa and has been in the UK for at least three years and has completed a minimum of a degree qualification in the UK, they may not need to undertake IELTS, or equivalent, in advance of starting the course. However, each application will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis.
