Nursing & mental health options with KCSE C?
Hi everyone! I’m an international student from Kenya with KCSE grades (C in Biology, D in chemistry & maths, C+ English). I want to study mental health nursing anc psychiatry. What UK universities/courses or pathways would you recommend for my grades? Any advice from those who’ve done foundation years or similar would be great! 😊

You can search for mental health nursing courses using the following search tool:
https://www.healthcareers.nhs.uk/career-planning/course-finder
Then you'd need to check the entry requirements for each course on the uni websites. It's possible that KCSE grades won't be listed so you need to contact the unis that you might be interested in to ask if your qualifications are acceptable.
Just to note that to become a psychiatrist you would need to take a medicine degree and then specialize once qualified.
