You typically need an IELTS Academic overall score of 7.0 to enroll in a Master's in Nursing in the UK. The Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC) requires:

- Overall: 7.0
- Listening: 7.0
- Reading: 7.0
- Writing: 6.5
- Speaking: 7.0

All scores must be from a single test sitting, and results are valid for two years.

Some universities may have slightly different requirements, so always check the specific program’s criteria. If you need help finding suitable universities or understanding the process, connect with your LeapScholar counsellor.
