Abstract | The current academic year - 2017/18 - is the first after the removal of the NHS bursary for undergraduate nurse education fees. There was widespread concern that the removal of bursaries would lead to fewer applications for nursing courses, particularly from older students, those of lower socioeconomic status, and black and minority ethnic students. So far this has not been the case at the University of Derby, where enrolment of first-year undergraduate students in adult nursing and mental health nursing has seen healthy increases. This article presents the university's enrolment figures over the last three years and discusses its approach to attracting students and widening participation. |
