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

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