UCAS application

I was studying nursing and left in March as I became overwhelmed and was struggling with my mental health but I realised that I would like to go back and study nursing but at a new university. I was there for 5/6 months. So I made a new ucas application tor this September. I declared on my ucas application the name of the university and the months I attended but didn’t state the name of the degree I studied as I didn’t achieve any qualifications. I’m just wondering if anyone has experienced the same and if I’ve done the right thing?

Yes, that sounds right. Often people put "no award" or somesuch but it should be clear from the study dates that you did not have time to complete a qualification

If anywhere you applied to has any queries, they'll get in touch.

Thank you, I just thought that I made a mistake not having written the degree I was doing but if I remember correctly I wasn’t able to input a degree name without having actually achieved a type of qualification

To be honest UCAS isn't really geared up for people to enter undergraduate qualifications in any case, it just assumes everyone is taking A-Levels or equivalent. It is always a bit of a fudge to enter most of the info.
