There are currently no national minimum academic entry requirements into nursing courses so each higher education institution (HEI) sets its own criteria. Therefore, you should check with each HEI directly before applying to see if your qualifications meet their entry standard. Find HEIs running courses on our course finder.
However, we have a general guide on what universities are looking for in students on degree courses. The right skills and values are also important to becoming a nurse. It's important to note that the diploma in higher education has been phased out. Nursing is now a graduate-entry profession.
