This is so you will have an understanding of the diversity of the population who access health and social care. It is important to be able to understand and explain how your experiences relate to the activities and qualities which are required for the profession at your interview. **Reference** You must provide a reference from a current or recent employer or educational institution with your UCAS application. **Interview** If you are shortlisted, we will invite you to an online interview. To confirm your identity on the day please bring a valid form of photo ID with you, preferably a passport or photo driving licence. View our interview guidance to ensure you understand the interviews process and how you can prepare for this. **Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL)** Usually nurse education lasts three years. However, completion of your first degree and relevant health or social care experience within the last five years allows you to 'credit against' the first year of nurse education. A condition of starting a place on the MSc Nursing programme is a submission of evidence of how your first degree and prior experience relates to nursing. The evidence will demonstrate that you meet the same standard of a student nurse completing their first year of the nursing programme. Your RPL will include a written narrative about your knowledge and experience against the 7 NMC Platforms, with the use of supporting literature and the completion of a total of 600 hours worked in a relevant health or social care setting. Guidance and support will be offered on how to complete your RPL following a successful interview. **Course enrolment - professional requirements** Before enrolling you must fully declare the following information on the pre-admission declaration forms provided during the admissions process: -unfiltered criminal convictions, cautions, reprimands or warnings.
