Nursing Degree

Middlers

Thinking of doing a nursing degree. Will my university fees etc be paid by the NHS?

i believe there's a grant so it might be actual money rather than fees paid for you... but you gotta agree to work for nhs

you get a bursary and the nhs pay your fees. there are other things you can claim for too-child care ruduced council tax ect. look at nhscarees.co.uk for more info.

There is no bursary for students who enrol on the full degree course, students can apply for the usual student loan though and I think the course fees are paid.
Students studying for the diploma in nursing receive a non means tested bursary of approx £5500 per year and there are no course fees to pay.
This is an extract from http://www.nottingham.ac.uk/nursing/courses/prereg/diploma/index.php

BSc (Hons) option

Students who wish to progress to the BSc (Hons) option will need to achieve satisfactory results in their first 2 years of the course. The third year will then focus on the BSc course. The non-means tested bursary will not be available for this third year if undertaking the degree, although all course fees will be paid and students can apply for a means-tested bursary.

So it is possible to come away with a degree at the end of your three years with a much smaller financial burden.
If you are set on applying for a degree level course you need to apply through http://www.ucas.com/ , or via http://www.nmas.ac.uk/ for the diploma courses.
