Frequently asked questions
Which English tests does the NMC accept?
The NMC accepts IELTS Academic and OET, and you must reach the required score in all four parts: listening, reading, writing and speaking. Medcity International Academy, our sister institute, offers IELTS and OET training.
What is the NMC?
The Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC) is the regulator for nurses and midwives in the UK. You must be on the NMC register to work as a registered nurse in the UK.
Is this the same as applying for a nursing job in the UK?
No. On this route you go to the UK as a student on a master's course, with a UK Student visa. Working as a registered nurse comes later, after NMC registration and with a visa that allows that work.
