Dear All,
I am a British citizen settled from India, applying for the 2025 BSc Mental Health Nursing/Dual MSc programmes. My education credentials have been assessed by UK ENIC (formerly UK NARIC). According to this assessment:
• My Matriculation (10th Standard) subjects, except English, are equivalent to UK GCSEs.
• My 12th Standard (all subjects, including English) is equivalent to UK AS Levels.
• I also hold a Bachelor’s and Master’s degree, equivalent to UK Levels 6 and 7 respectively.
I understand that most providers require GCSE Maths and English or equivalent qualifications as essential criteria. Given my background as an Allied Health Professional (AHP) with 20 years of NHS experience and a career change to nursing, would my higher qualifications and professional experience waive the need for GCSE requirements?
If not, I would appreciate clarification on whether completing a Level 2 Functional Skills qualification (e.g., City & Guilds) would suffice.
Thank you for your time and guidance.
Kind regards,
Sam Y
