Hi, I'm looking to apply for adult nursing next year however I only have a D in standard grade maths.
I've worked in the care sector for the past 9 years, support worker for 6 and in management for 3 years.
I have an HNC in social care (B award) and an svq level 3.... will this be enough or will I still need maths? Any info would be great. Cheers.

Whether your HNC is enough depends and it may not be accepted everywhere, so check. It wont get you in everywhere.
Where mature students with experience are concerned, then they are most likely to make allowances and a direct informal approach can get you an idea of where you stand.

Your experience is excellent however it's best to check with the universities directly to see if they still want you to have the GCSE maths at grade C and if your other qualifications meet the entry requirements.
Don't be put off it you need to do an access course (equivalent of a-levels) and/or your GCSE maths again to be able to apply though.
I hope this helps.

Thanks for the info folks. I attempted an int 2 maths course at college a few years ago but I was that bad I felt that even the lecturer gave up hope so I left a couple of months into it.
I'll email around to ask and pray that my experience will scrape me in, failing that it's back to the drawing board

Same I have a conditional offer but it didn’t require me to have a c grade gcse maths but a different uni did. I had a d grade in maths
(Original post by Nabz96)
Which university is this? I got a conditional offer but there is no condition that I need to pass maths or get a maths GCSE at C so I’m not sure if they made a mistake or something :/

I just wanted to jump into this discussion to clear up any potential misconceptions stemming from this thread. The maths requirement is important for the skills required to succeed on the course, so we would not have made an offer with no additional mathematics qualification given. For example, do you also have a Key Skills Level 2 in Application and Number? We may have accepted this as supplementation to your GCSE to make you that offer. Otherwise, can I presume you had something else in addition to that GCSE?

Thanks for clarifying! Without looking into your record it sounds to me like the numeracy components of the Welsh Bacc would have been used to supplement your GCSE grade.

If you currently have a D grade in Maths and would like to study Adult Nursing at Swansea University and have got a grade B within Welsh Bacc GCSE would this be accepted instead of the Maths GCSE?
