Deadline Extended for Students Applying to Nursing at Bangor University

Deadline Extended for Students Applying to Nursing at Bangor University

, , , , , , , , , , , , , ,

Barclay Educational Services is pleased to announce that the Jan 31st deadline to apply to Adult Nursing at Bangor University is being extended for a short period of time.  The 3 yr BSc Nursing (Honours) program has been opened up to Canadian students for the FIRST TIME EVER and qualifies you as a nurse in the UK. This program requires a slightly lower average for admission than here in Ontario. In addition, the course recognizes the qualifications of Canadian trained RPN’s so it is possible for those professionals to complete the program in two years rather than three. In addition, the program is available to qualifying students directly from high school so that no undergraduate study at university is required.

A significant strength of the Bangor University Program is that it is a 50/50 split; that is, that half of the course time is spent on lectures and the other half is spent gaining important clinical experience which is necessary in order to launch your nursing career. In fact, the program at Bangor University offers one of the highest number of hours spent in clinical experience when compared to some other similar programs.  It should be noted that the program is eligible for OSAP funding. Students are also able to work 20 hours a week during school time and are generally allowed to work full-time during school holiday periods.

For those who wish to return to Canada to work as an RN, the process to qualify back home is the same as for any other Internationally Trained Nurse. Bangor University is located in Wales and offers a safe, friendly campus for students. In addition to enjoying the educational benefits of this well-respected program, Wales offers an exciting international experience with lots of opportunity to travel cheaply to many other interesting places.

If you are interested in finding out more about this exciting program before the application window closes, please contact Jackie at JSB@barclayedu.com  Barclay is the ONLY agency recognized as being able to assist with applications from Canadian students to this program.  It is done at no cost to the applicant. The University pays our fee.

Did you miss the deadline to apply to Universities in Ontario? There are still lots of opportunities to study in the UK, or even Europe in time for September of 2019.  In fact, if you are a secondary school student wishing to study Law or Pharmacy for example, it is a distinct advantage to study overseas since you are able to enter these programs directly from high school which is not possible in Canada.

Even programs which Canadian students are able to access right from secondary school such as Nursing, are so highly competitive here, that it is often difficult to gain entrance on your first try. However, overseas universities have a number of openings available in for International Students which increases your chance of gaining admittance,  (as long as you meet the basic entrance requirements which are often not quite as high as in Ontario right now. )

Barclay Educational is proud to have partnerships with more than twenty five of the top Universities in the UK, France and Germany. You can study in exciting, world-class cities such as London and Berlin or in quieter, picturesque settings such as Devon or other counties in the beautiful English countryside. Our staff has more than a decade of experience placing students for both undergraduate and postgraduate studies overseas. If you missed the deadline here in Ontario, please contact us to find out if there is an appropriate program available overseas to suit your interests and career goals.

Barclay Educational is a recognized agent in Canada and helps students at NO COST with the entire application process including the Student Visa procedure. (The Universities pay our fee.) To find out more about how you can begin your adventure of studying overseas please contact Jackie at JSB@barclayedu.com

There are endless numbers of challenging postgraduate programs which are available at our partner schools in England, Ireland, France, Germany, Wales and Scotland.
