References
Updated reference process – Effective February 2027 intakes
From the February 2027 intakes onwards, we will be introducing an updated reference process as part of our application workflow. All references will now be completed through our automated online system.
Applicants are kindly asked not to request their referees to complete the previous reference table format, as this will no longer be accepted. Instead, secure links will be sent directly to your nominated referees during the application process.
This change is designed to streamline and simplify the reference submission experience for both applicants and referees.
To help you application stand out, we recommend securing two strong references. These references can give valuable insights into your skills, work ethic, and potential to succeed in our program.
Choosing your references: Consider who can speak to your achievements, strengths, and potential and ensure that you inform your chosen references about your intention to use them and seek permission beforehand.
Please look to secure:
- One Clinical Supervisor/Facilitator: This could be a Clinical Facilitator/Team Leader or Nurse Unit Manager (ideally from a more recent placement) who can speak to how you performed on placement.
- One Employer: This could be a past Supervisor or Manager who can comment on your work ethic, skills, and achievements in a professional setting. This can be from a healthcare organisation or from any more recent employer. If you do not have an employer reference, please submit two clinical references.
If you have carefully read the above information and have further questions, please speak with a member of our friendly team.
