UWS or GCU for adult nursing?

Hi! Can anyone give me an idea which is better for adult Nursing? I got unconditional offer at GCU and conditional (English test)at UWS Lanarkshire. I’m confused and undecided between the two. Any difference between the 2 Unis? Thank you in advance for your advice.

Hi

It doesn't matter which university you actually pick to go to as long as you actually qualify as a NHS Scotland nurse as your future employer not interested in where you studied as long as you are qualified 😀 😀 😀. There's not much difference between them as it's only the way that they teach you the coursework.

But if it was myself choosing a university in Glasgow then I would probably choose Glasgow Caledonian university as it's city centre based, plus you will have good transport links to the hospitals for placement and similar for any community placements.

Your English test is basically to prove how good your English is.... hopefully you can access the link below as this will give you more information as a guide okay.
