Based on UCAS' latest applicant statistics, nursing, healthcare and social work continue to be some of the most competitive subjects, and it is, therefore, difficult to secure places on courses.

It offers case studies from professionals in these subject areas, gives thorough information on entry routes and qualifications, and advises on what funding is available. Practical advice is given on how to choose an institution and how they choose you, including how to prepare for an interview.
