Hi, I am applying for the September 2025 intake for the MSci Dual Award Mental Health and Learning Disability Nursing (1049)course. I hold an equivalent undergraduate(Level 6) and postgraduate(Level 7)degree; however, my English qualification (AS Level) is not deemed equivalent to a GCSE. If I am shortlisted, would the university support me in completing a Functional Skills Level 2 English qualification, or is it a requirement to have completed this qualification prior to being shortlisted?

I am asking this question here as I believe your response might help other prospective students in a similar situation who are considering applying for the BSc Mental Health Nursing course. Thank you for your guidance.
