Hi there

Have you had a look at the Staffordshire University Accommodation web page?

There are two sections on the accommodation page called:
Staffordshire University student pad
Staffordshire Students' Union

Both or which can help you search for private landlords in the local area.


However if you currently live outside the UK you may be eligible to live on campus in our Leek Road Houses accommodation where other masters students also live.

Hope that helps
Jack

Hi,

Would you happen to know the university's fees policy for ELQ students? I was hoping to apply for an MSc at Staffs but I already have a Master's (in another area). Would I have to pay international student fees?

Thanks!

(I'm also having problems with your online application. It has allowed me to add 5 qualifications, but it keeps deleting the sixth. I've tried saving it multiple times and it keeps getting removed despite the maximum being ten. Any advice?)

Hi,
As long as your are a UK residents you will be charged the Home Student fees and not the International fees even if you are classified as an EQL student.

As to the application I'm sorry your having technical difficulties but I've had a chat with the admissions department who have asked if you could put any other Qualifications after your first five in the notes section with the application and when they receive the application they will confirm your qualifications.

If you have any more problems or questions about the application give me an email on [email protected] or give our enquiries team a call on 01782 294000

Hope that Helps

Hi Obeacher
The start of Adult nursing for the March intake will start around the 14th March. However due to the complexity of Nursing with placements if you would like to give Val Nixon a call 01743 261136, she will be able to help you further regarding the full academic year.

Hope that helps and if you any further questions feel free to contact me with the email address below

Hope you can help!

Hi,

I have an interview for Staffordshire University.
I was wondering if you could maybe offer me some help. I was told that there would be a group interview and the topic of conversation would be the 6 C's. I was just curious as to what sorts of questions would be asked.

Also what is the interview like. What will the question be? Will there be scenario based questions?

Hey there,

I'm guessing this is for a nursing interview?

You'll have four activities: A group talk, a numeracy test, a group discussion and an interview.

You should dress smart like you would for a job interview. It's also a good idea to read up on current campaigns on the RCN website or other journals so you've got some knowledge about the profession.

I can't give you much more info than that but fingers crossed for you and good luck! Let me know how it goes,

Morning,Sorry for the slow reply - so after your first year of an extended four year degree you would receive a transcript (your marks for the year) but it wouldn't carry any credits towards the degree qualification. This means that you wouldn't get a certificate for it. If you wanted to talk to our team about it and to make sure that this is the right course for you - you can email [email protected] or phone: 01782 294400Kris
