What the diploma route means here

Diploma routes are now uncommon in pre-registration nursing training, having largely been replaced by degrees. Where one still runs it is worth checking carefully with the regulator that the specific award leads to eligibility for registration, because that is the only thing that matters for getting a job.

Every approved nursing associate course in the dataset follows this route, so this page and the full nursing associate listing show the same 2 courses. That in itself is worth knowing: there is no alternative kind of programme to weigh up in this profession at the moment, so your decision is about university and location rather than about route.

None of these courses carries a UCAS code in the dataset, which normally means applying direct to the university or, for apprenticeships, to the employer advertising the vacancy. No provider on this list publishes a typical offer in a form this site can cite, so the entry-requirements column is empty throughout — check each university’s own page. Whatever the route, a substantial part of the programme is assessed practice placement rather than campus teaching, and that is where most of the travel goes.
