Salutations for the day, I have a bachelor's degree in nursing from my home country of India and am currently planning to pursue a Master's degree in nursing in the UK universities. However, I am unsure of which specific courses or universities I should apply to in order to obtain registration and work as a registered nurse in the United Kingdom. Could someone please list the courses that I should plan to apply for? Despite my best efforts to research, I am unsure of which courses lead to registration.
Therefore, I humbly ask for assistance from everyone who can, as I am struggling to select a programme.

To work as a nurse in the UK, if you're from India or any other country, you do not need a master's degree; however, you will need to go through a few steps. Here are some guidelines:
Language proficiency: You must be proficient in written and spoken English and have passed the International English Language Testing System (IELTS). The NMC will accept an IELTS Academic examination certificate that confirms you achieved at least 7 for reading, listening, and speaking and at least 6.5 for writing.
When your IELTS or OET results are in, your nursing agency in the UK will set up an interview via Skype or another video platform. This is your chance to show why you'd be a good fit for a nursing position in the UK and to ask any questions you may have regarding the application process.

Take and pass the computer-based exam (CBT) You must be registered with the Nursing and Midwifery Council to practice as a nurse in Britain (NMC). A computer-based test (CBT) is required for registration, which can be taken at many test centres worldwide. Computerized multiple-choice questions are used in the exam, which consists of 120 questions. You'll have four hours to finish the exam.
Registration with the Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC): You must apply for registration with the NMC, the regulatory body for nurses and midwives in the UK. You must provide evidence of your nursing qualifications, registration, and work experience. The NMC will assess your qualifications and decide whether you can practice as a nurse in the UK.
Ensure that the NHS Trust receives your personal information. All necessary paperwork will be forwarded to the NHS Trust by your agency as part of the recruitment process. You need these documents to work as a nurse in the United Kingdom. Documents such as the following are evident:A copy of your completed NHS application form.
You must obtain a Certificate of Sponsorship before you may apply for a Visa (COS). As your sponsor, the NHS Trust will submit the application for you. Sponsorship for another three years can be obtained if needed. In the United Kingdom, you can become a permanent resident after five years.
Apply for a visa.
A Tier 2 visa is required for Indian nurses who plan to work in the United Kingdom. In some cases, the full or part of the cost of your Visa will be funded by the NHS Trust that you are joining. Learn about Visa expenses from a Your World International specialist. The trust does not usually cover family members' visas.
You will subsequently be enrolled in the NHS Trust and commence OSCE training.
Accomplish the Objective Structured Clinical Examination (OSCE). The Objective Structured Clinical Examination (OSCE) is the second stage of NMC registration requirements. The test simulates some of the healthcare situations that nurses and midwives in the NHS are likely to experience while providing care to patients.
For the OSCE, there are six stations in which nurses and midwives are tested on their knowledge and grasp of the assessment process as well as their ability to organize, implement, and evaluate patient care. Finale stations assess clinical expertise.
Each NHS Trust will have a different training schedule for the OSCE. A third attempt is permitted at your own expense if your first two paid attempts to pass the exam are unsuccessful. After three unsuccessful tries, you must return to your native nation. As a result, Your World strongly advises delaying the relocation of any family members to the UK until after you have passed the OSCE.
Obtain your NMC PIN.
If you pass the OSCE, you will be registered with the Nursing & Midwifery Council and assigned an NMC Personal Identification Number (PIN).
Many thanks for your kind response anton31,
And I apologise for forgetting to add that my current goal is to further my academic education by enrolling in a programme in the United Kingdom.
As a result, I would appreciate your assistance in helping me choose a master's programme that I can enrol in in the UK and that has the approval of the NMC so that I can subsequently complete it and become registered with the NMC.
My preferred course of action is to pursue a master's degree in nursing in the UK. Following completion of the degree programme, I will continue to pursue nmc registration. There may be 2-year study programmes out there, but I'm not sure which ones I can sign up for.
