The information held by the Department does not separately identify the number of postgraduate trainees on pre-registration nursing courses and includes only the numbers for England.

The following table shows the total number of nurse training places that were commissioned in England in each academic year, for the period 2010-11 to 2016-17. These figures include both undergraduates and postgraduates on pre-registration nurse training courses.
