Nursing at kcl

Anyone planning to go to King's college London for their nursing course in 2026??
I am planning to be a paramedics after doing a nursing course? Is that fine or is there an easier way to be a paramedic???
I am currently in year 12

Im pretty sure the easiest way to become a paramedic is doing a bachelors in paramedic science. All i know is that St georges university of london (thats merging with city university of london) has a course for paramedic science.

Wait, do you want to be a paramedic or a nurse paramedic? Because you can study adult nursing then qualify as a paramedic nurse later on.

I want to be a paramedic but doesn't getting a degree in nursing open more pathways if I ever want to switch from paramedics to another healthcare sector?

That may be true but do you not want ur debt to build higher and higher? But that is reasonable.

Just a warning that you have to undergo 2300 hours of unpaid placement (which i have to go through) to complete your nursing degree. It would be best to go for adult nursing as it gives u more opportunity.

So if I do adult nursing can I still become a paramedic ?

if you want to be a paramedic you can't just switch. you will have to do a masters which is self funded or go down the apprenticeship route and start from the bottom
