Enquiry About Entry Requirements for Nursing Degree and Access Courses

 I am currently working as a Clinical Support Worker at John Radcliffe Hospital in Oxford. I am very interested in applying for your BSc Nursing Degree programme and would like to enquire about the entry requirements, particularly around mathematics.

I hold a Nurse Assistant Certificate and have completed the Care Certificate. However, I obtained a D7 in Mathematics in the WASSCE exam and would like to know whether you offer any Access to Higher Education courses or modules that would allow me to meet the entry requirements for your nursing degree.

Additionally, I am keen to understand whether my work experience and existing qualifications may be considered under recognition of prior learning or alternative entry routes.

I would greatly appreciate any guidance or recommendations you can provide regarding the best steps to take.
