I am not sure what courses you are currently taking or have taken that will go towards your nursing degree. Also, unfortunately, I do not know how the UK educational system works. Here in the US if you have taken basic courses such as English, History, Biology those usually will tranfer towards the Nursing degree. More specialized courses such as Microbiology, Anatomy and Physiology, Chemistry are more applicable to the BSN degree. Usually there are couses in Statistics, Basic Psychology, Sociology that are applied towards the BSN here in the states. If you want to try to get a taste of what may be required try to take a few of the science courses that will go towards your BSN. If you can do some volunteer work at a hospital or health oriented facility that also may give you some insight into what nursing is about. Good luck!!! It is a wonderful field. You could start by taking a medical terminology course, that would apply to all areas of the medical field.

I may be a bit grumpy answering this, but it is late at night - why do you not ask the university that you want to study at what their entry qualifications are? Go onto their site - every university has their own - and see what they are asking for.

Completely agree.

Contact the uni to find out academic requirements, visa info, and the required level of English proficiency, likely to be IELTS, but you will need to verify this.
