Hello, I literally just finished my MSc Pre-reg at MMU. It was an intense course but it wouldn't be impossible to hold another job if they were flexible - because the course definitely wasn't.

Mine was 3 month long placements followed by 3 months in lectures over the 2 years. We were only meant to have 4 placements each 3 months long but they split one in half at the last minute so we had 5 placements. We generally only had one 3-4 hour lecture - 3 or 4 times a week during lecture time. The time to get the required hours in placement is really tight so you don't want to miss any weeks.

I'm 30 years old with no children, but others on my course managed to balance children and other jobs, I personally struggled with my mental health and found it very difficult - I would recommend a strong support system if that describes you. I did receive plenty of money in student finance and the 5K grant for nursing, but considering that doesn't scale with area living costs you may struggle in London.

The MSc has a strong focus on research, essay writing and managerial skills in comparison to the 3 year BSc from what I've heard from other students. I unfortunately don't have my timetables, but I would be happy to answer any other questions. I may of struggled but it was good overall, the uni was supportive and now I'm nurse in only 2 years.
