The University of Nottingham was founded in 1881 and became a university in 1948. The nursing program offers training at five different hospitals to a student body of 3,500. Students can pursue a bachelor of science degree in nursing, a master's degree in nursing science, or an entry level nursing degree for graduates. The bachelor's program is three years in duration, with 37.5 hours of instruction per week. Students begin their studies in either January or September. The program mixes coursework with practical application. The master's program is four years in length, with half being coursework and half consisting of practice. The graduate entry degree features a similar half-and-half approach and lasts for two years. Students pursuing this degree can qualify to work in either mental health or adult health.

The University of Manchester dates back to 1824 and is located in northern England. The university's nursing department offers both undergraduate and graduate options, including adult, mental health, or a child nursing option for those pursuing their bachelor's degrees. A Diploma in Professional Studies (DPSN) is offered with either the adult or mental health nursing option. The bachelor's degree program is three years long, involving both course work and clinical participation. Students who are residents of the UK are not charged tuition, as the fees are paid by the National Health Service (NHS). The DPSN is either a two- or three-year undertaking, depending on the prior qualifications of the applicant. Fees for this are also paid by the NHS. Courses begin each September.
