To pass the Access to Nursing Studies course you will need to:
- Gain an average of at least 50% across the modules
- Fulfil the attendance and assessment requirements for each module
- Attend an interview with the Nursing Division
Successful students will be offered a place on a Nursing undergraduate degree, Adult Nursing or Mental Health Nursing, at the University of Stirling. There is also the opportunity to study the Paramedic Science degree.
Since 2019, more than 90% of students who successfully completed the Access pathway, were offered a place on a Nursing degree at Stirling.
Due to the smaller number of places available, it is more competitive to gain a place on the Paramedic Science course. Please contact the Admissions team at admissions@stir.ac.uk for further information.
The University aims to offer you a place on your chosen course, but it may not always be possible. However, if you successfully complete your Access course, you will be offered some choice of courses, with the University aiming to offer you a place as close as possible to your chosen degree.
The Access to Nursing Studies course also offers progression to Forth Valley College’s full-time HNC in Healthcare Practice, which allows direct entry to the 2nd year of Stirling’s Nursing degrees, as well as routes into Midwifery (which Stirling does not currently offer).
