Frequently asked questions
Is there a YKS requirement or an exam for recognition (denklik) of a nursing degree?
The YKS ranking requirement applies only to medicine, dentistry, pharmacy and law. Nursing is exempt. If YÖK considers it necessary, it can decide on a level assessment exam for nursing. This exam is held at least once a year by universities that YÖK designates.
How much of nursing education in the United Kingdom is spent in practice?
In NMC approved programs, 50% of the training is in practice. At least 2,300 hours of practice are completed before graduation, and part of it can be done through simulation. A student who completes the program can apply to the NMC to register as a nurse.
