Choosing your subject - Nursery & Midwifery


It is possible to qualify for these careers in two ways:

 

  • Via the Diploma route, which takes three years and leads to DipHE status
  • Via a degree in Nursing or Midwifery

 

The difference lies in:

  1. the minimum entry requirements. A levels are required for the degree route.
  2. The funding arrangements. Students on degree courses receive a means tested NHS bursary and are entitled to apply for a reduced student loan. Students on diploma courses are entitled to a (larger) non-means tested NHS bursary, but cannot apply for a loan. In both cases, the tuition fees are paid by the NHS.

It is possible for Diploma trained nurses and midwives to obtain a degree qualification via a further period of study – one year full time or two years part-time.

The general advice is that a degree is advisable for those who are ambitious and aspire to a post in clinical management.

 

Application for both qualifications is through UCAS.
