Hi there,

Can you confirm if you have already been awarded your degree in adult nursing? When would you be starting the new one course? Would this be full time or part time?

Thanks,
Claire

Hi there,

Yes, this is fine - Mental Health Nursing is an exception. So, you can be eligible for funding even if you've studied a different Nursing course.

Do you know when the new course will begin?

Thanks, Graeme

If you want, you can apply right now since the 25/26 applications are available online. That way, we'll be able to tell you exactly what you're entitled to.

Thanks, Graeme
