Study nursing abroad
Nursing is the field where our graduates did best: 79 of 88 who answered our 2026 survey were working in nursing within 6 months (89.8%). Most study a Bachelor of Nursing in Australia, or nursing in the UK. The deciding factor is registration: an accredited course and registration-level English.

Our proof
BeforeTold she needed IELTS 7 just to apply for nursing
We separated two English rules: the university's entry score, and the nursing board's registration score, which she needs at the end, not the start.

Prabesh prepared the loan file before she went to the bank: land ownership certificate, valuation, the offer letter and a one-page cost sheet.

Country by country
Nursing is taught in many countries, but registering is what counts. Start from the job you want, then find the country where this degree actually leads to it, and what it takes to get in.
| Country | Courses | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Australia | Bachelor of Nursing (3 years, credit for PCL at some universities); Master of Nursing (graduate entry) | Strong demand, work in aged care while studying, 2 years after on the 485 visa |
| United Kingdom | BSc Nursing (adult, mental health, child) | NMC-registered courses; check the current rules on funding and work after |
| Finland | Bachelor of Health Care, Nursing (some in English) | Finnish is needed to work as a nurse, so plan to learn it |
| Germany | Nursing training (Ausbildung) and degrees, mostly in German | Only for students ready to study and work in German |
Entry requirements
Diploma, bachelor or master
Registration and language
Registration is the whole point. In Australia you register with the Nursing and Midwifery Board (NMBA); in the UK with the Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC). Only accredited courses lead there.
Registration English is higher than entry English: in Australia, for tests from 23 April 2026, 7 in listening, reading and speaking and 6.5 in writing. Plan to reach it by your final year.
After study
Nursing is demanding: clinical placements, shift work and a high English bar for registration. Choose it because you want to nurse, not because someone said it leads to PR.

FAQ
Australia is the most common choice: strong demand, credit for PCL at some universities, and work in aged care while studying. The UK is a good alternative. In Finland and Germany you need the local language to work as a nurse.
For entry, often 6.5 to 7. For registration in Australia, for tests from 23 April 2026: 7 in listening, reading and speaking, and 6.5 in writing.
Yes. Some Australian universities give credit for a PCL diploma and work experience, which can shorten the degree.
Nursing sat in the middle of our Australian tuition range last year. Year 1 costs about Rs 65.9 to Rs 82.9 lakh including living money and the visa.
