You may decide that you would like to apply to work in the UK following the successful completion of your studies. If you wish to work as a qualified nurse in the UK you will need to successfully complete the Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC) Test of Competence, which is offered at a variety of test centres in the UK (further details can be found on the NMC website). You will also be required to evidence your knowledge of English. One of the ways to do this is through the completion of the Occupational English Test (OET). You can access the OET preparation module at the University of Wolverhampton whilst studying this course (additional costs apply).
 

The OET module familiarises you with the examination skills, language skills, strategies, English vocabulary and grammatical structures needed to take the Occupational English Test (OET). You will be trained in all sections of the exam and have the opportunity to carry out exam practice in cooperation with other students. Experienced OET tutors will monitor the module, taking part in online discussions and seminars, ensuring all students engage. There will be an additional charge for undertaking the OET module and for undertaking the test.
