We would advise that all students check the academic entry requirements (GCSE, A-Levels or equivalent) for each course before applying for their Pathway.  Many courses specify that you must have achieved a specific grade at a specific level in order to be conisidered for a place on the undergradtuate programme.  Therefore, it is important that you clarify this information as early as possible in order to avoid disappointment.   

Please click here to be redirected to the Queen's University course finder, where you should find all necessary details - in particular, pre-requisite information.

Students completing this Pathway are eligible to apply for a range of courses under their subject area.  For the full list, have a look at our Pathway Courses Available document for further information.

Over the course of the week long Summer School, you will get a chance to study alongside academics, current Queen's students and your Pathway peers.  You'll get to have a look at practical skills, have an insight into university life, and a chance to explore careers and employment opportunities available to those that study subjects from within your pathway.

Nursing

Nursing is more than just a job. It is a dynamic, ever-changing career that has people-focused delivery of care at its heart. A nurse needs to have excellent technical and practical skills and be able to tailor his/her nursing care to suit each patient’s needs. They make critical decisions, often under pressure. Nurses must constantly adapt to the changing needs of the population by developing new skills as methods of care delivery change and by taking on increasing responsibility for patient care.

So if you are looking for a career that not only offers stability and excellent progression opportunities, but also provides you with constant challenges, you have come to the right place.

Midwifery

Midwifery is about more than just ‘catching’ babies. It is all about caring for childbearing women and their families through one of life’s most special, stressful and often daunting experiences. A midwife works, often in a team of other healthcare professionals, to provide clinical care, support, education and guidance to expectant mothers. It is the midwife’s role to ensure that each mother can make informed choices about her care, and to meet any special needs each individual might have.

In an ever changing healthcare arena, a midwife needs to have excellent technical and practical skills and be able to tailor his/her care to suit each expectant mother’s needs. So if you are looking for a career that not only offers stability and excellent progression opportunities, but also provides you with constant challenges, with no two days the same, you have come to the right place.
