"additionalFeeInformation": "* NI and ROI students - No fee for commissioned students / £7,800 for non-commissioned students.\n\nThe tuition fees quoted above for NI and ROI are the 2024/25 fees and will be updated when the new fees are known. In addition, all tuition fees will be subject to an annual inflationary increase in each year of the course. Fees quoted relate to a single year of study unless explicitly stated otherwise.\n\nFurther information on Fees and Funding can be found at: https://www.qub.ac.uk/Study/Feesandfinance/.\n\nAll students entering this programme are required to undergo an enhanced disclosure check with Access NI which costs approximately £33.\n\nIn Year 1 students must buy a uniform from a QUB-selected uniform supplier (approximate cost £190), and a name badge (approximate cost £10).\n\nAll students entering this programme are required to undergo an enhanced disclosure check with Access NI which costs approximately £33.\n\nIn Year 1 students must buy a uniform from a QUB-selected uniform supplier (approximate cost £190), and a name badge (approximate cost £10).\n\nAll students on this programme will undertake clinical placements, which can be anywhere in Northern Ireland. Students are responsible for funding travel, accommodation and subsistence costs. These costs vary depending on the location and duration of the placements. Some reimbursement may be available for Department of Health NI funded students.\n\nStudents may wish to buy a Fob Watch (approximately £15) or Pinard Stethoscope (approximately £7); however, this is not a requirement.\n\nStudents who are not on a funded commissioned place from the Department of Health will pay a placement charge which is for facilitating the clinical placement. It is collected by the Student Finance Office and is passed on to our placement provider partners. The approximate cost for 2024-25 is £4,500 per year, costs for 2025-26 are still to be confirmed.\n\nPlease note that students on a commissioned place from the Department of Health NI cannot apply for loan funding from Student Finance NI.\n\nTo be eligible for a Department of Health NI commissioned (funded) place, students must normally be resident in Northern Ireland or Republic of Ireland for at least 3 years before the start of the programme.

"summary": "This three-year degree programme integrates theory and practice, preparing our students to be world-class practitioners. Students will spend 50 per cent of their time in class learning the latest nursing theory and clinical skills, and 50 per cent of their time with one of our internationally-recognised training partners in a wide variety of clinical and community settings throughout Northern Ireland. Our highly-trained lecturing staff are actively engaged in areas of speciality practice, and our personal tutor system for student support is very well regarded. There are also opportunities for elective placements with one of our international partners in the final year of study.\n\n**NB: Are you a graduate domiciled in Northern Ireland or the Republic of Ireland?** Have you considered applying for the MSc Professional Nursing programme? The programme is only open to graduate applicants and takes two years to complete instead of the more familiar three year undergraduate route. This programme is fully funded by the Department of Health for Home students, including full fees and a bursary. It is the only pre-registration Nursing Masters programme offered on the island of Ireland.\n\nUpon successful completion of the MSc Professional Nursing degree you will graduate with a Masters degree and you will be eligible to register with the Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC). QUB offers this innovative pre-registration Nursing programme in the fields of Adult Nursing, Children and Young People's Nursing, Learning Disability Nursing and Mental Health Nursing. Further information on these courses is available at www.qub.ac.uk/courses and search for Nursing and tick the Postgraduate Taught box under Level of Study.",
