- Other
- Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL): Usually nurse education lasts three years. However, completion of your first degree and relevant health or social care experience within the last five years allows you to 'credit against' the first year of nurse education. A condition of starting a place on the MSc Nursing programme is a submission of evidence of how your first degree and prior experience relates to nursing. The evidence will demonstrate that you meet the same standard of a student nurse completing their first year of the nursing programme. Your RPL will include a written narrative about your knowledge and experience against the 7 NMC Platforms, with the use of supporting literature and the completion of a total of 600 hours worked in a relevant health or social care setting. Guidance and support will be offered on how to complete your RPL following a successful interview.
