Becoming a Registered Nurse

Nursing is undergoing a dramatic change in order to meet the needs of a modern healthcare system that is tackling issues such as an ageing population and complex diseases. With more responsibilities and career opportunities than ever before, new nurses must be educated to degree level and, as a result, we are leading the way with new and innovative courses.

Student fees and finance for 2012/13

Students on pre-registration nursing courses (funded by the NHS and leading to registration with the Nursing and Midwifery Council) will usually have their tuition fees paid in full and receive financial support in the form of a bursary and access to a student loan.

The Department of Health has indicated that a new package of financial support will take effect from September 2012 and only apply to students who begin training on or after this date.

Eligible students will receive a small non-means tested grant of £1,000, a means tested bursary of up to £4,395 and a reduced rate non-means tested loan of up to £2,324*. Different rates of means tested bursary and loan will apply according to where a student lives or studies. More information can be found here. To be eligible you must have Home Status and meet the NHS and SLC criteria.

For information about fees and finance for other programmes across the University, please visit the Student Fees and Finance website.

*Students who have previously received a student loan will not be entitled to another one.
