UWS MSc Adult Nursing (PG)

OP

Just wanted to bump this! I'm in the same position as you. I have a degree in Biological sciences/Zoology and a post graduate degree. I'd like to transition to nursing but I'm unsure whether the BSc or MSc is a better option. From what I've read online, most seem to think that all pre-registration nursing courses are equal and if you can qualify sooner, why not? I'm still unsure whether an accelerated course would feel rushed or mean that while studying you'd have less free time for working etc.

Hey!

I don’t know if it’s any help for you but I had my interview in December for adult nursing. They explained a bit about the masters and from what they spoke about it seemed manageable, with it being slightly more suited for those who are perhaps wanting to consultancy, leadership and research roles. They did explain about the differences in courses but the interview adrenaline was flowing and I can’t remember specifics but can remember thinking it didn’t seem that daunting.

I applied for the BSc because I wasn’t aware of the MSc and was informed that people who meet the qualifications will automatically be screened for entry to the MSc (if that makes sense).

I think I’m leaning toward the MSc I think just wish there was more info.

That's really good to know! Thanks so much.

I think the MRes is what I'm leaning to as well. I also wasn't aware of the MSc until after I'd submitted my applications to UoG, GCU and UWS. I've applied for the MSc at GCU but it's good to know that UWS might consider me to the MSc too.

How did your UWS interview go? I have mine this weekend.

Oh that’s great!

There was a half hour intro talk. It was a group interview there was about 10 people in my group so it’s easy to get talked over by bigger personalities so make sure and get your bit in. The tour they offer after is about half an hour and the facilities are great the new building looks fab. Good luck with your interview!

For UWS? I haven’t heard back either... I emailed and they said they are still processing applications so couldn’t give me a date for hearing back. Hopefully soon.
