I want to do Nursing but I have completed my B.Sc with Botany with 8.50 CGPA. Am I eligible for getting admission in PG in Nursing in the UK with a dependent Husband visa?

Hello, how are you doing?
So let me just begin by mentioning an 8.50 CGPA is more than enough to make you eligible for a PG Nursing Course in the UK. The general CGPA eligibility criteria for most quality UK institutes offering master or pg nursing courses is around 7-8. You can easily secure enrolment in institutes like King's College and the University of Edinburgh. 
You must be 18 or older and your family members must be classified as your dependents under UK immigration rules and regulations. Starting with the general guidelines, your husband is eligible to apply for a visa only if you are pursuing a graduate, postgraduate course equal to or longer than 12 months. Or in a few cases, if you are a government-sponsored student, then the length of your course is not a big factor.
Moreover, if you are enrolled in a course program that adheres to UK Dependent Visa rules and regulations, your husband is not eligible to accompany you to the UK. Therefore research on your program and institute before applying.

Transitioning from a B.Sc in Botany to a PG in Nursing in the UK is feasible but requires careful consideration of admission requirements and visa regulations. While your Botany background may not directly align with Nursing, your academic performance and any relevant coursework may still qualify you for admission. Research the specific admission criteria of PG Nursing programs and inquire about bridging or conversion programs offered by universities. Regarding visa eligibility, a dependent Husband visa in the UK may restrict full-time study but could allow for part-time or online study options. Consult immigration authorities or advisors to understand visa limitations and explore scholarship opportunities or financial aid. With thorough planning, you can navigate these challenges and pursue your Nursing aspirations while accommodating your visa status.

So, since you&rsquo;ve done your B.Sc in Botany with a solid 8.50 CGPA, getting into a PG Nursing program in the UK might be a bit tricky, but not impossible. Most UK universities require a healthcare-related background (like B.Sc in Nursing, Biology, or related fields) for direct admission into a Master's in Nursing.
But don&rsquo;t worry&mdash;there are alternative routes! Some universities offer pre-registration nursing programs or conversion courses for students from different academic backgrounds. You may need to take a bridging course or show relevant experience (like volunteering or certifications in healthcare).
Now, about the dependent husband visa, if you get a Student Visa (Tier 4) for a course that is at least 12 months long at a postgraduate level, your husband can apply as your dependent and stay with you in the UK. Plus, he&rsquo;ll have the right to work full-time while you study.
Check university websites or email their admissions team to see if they accept students from non-nursing backgrounds. Also, look at NMC (Nursing and Midwifery Council) UK guidelines for international applicants. If you're open to gaining some experience first, doing a healthcare-related certification or short course might boost your chances!
