What grades do I need to be a nurse?
Entry requirements for nursing degree courses vary because each university sets its own entry criteria, but you are likely to need at least two (usually three) A-levels or equivalent qualifications at level 3, plus supporting GCSEs including English, maths and a science (usually biology or human biology).
Can I do nursing with Grade 11?
The simple answer to this is no, you can’t. Unless you have an equivalent qualification that meets the entry requirement for the course you want to study. We highly recommend that you first do a matric rewrite, or take an alternative course that helps you to meet the requirements to gain access to your university.
