Workforce Development Fund (WDF) Previously known as Learning Beyond Registration (LBR)

Welcome to the Workforce Development Fund (WDF) application portal for Registered Nurses and Healthcare Professionals. This online system will allow you to submit your application for both undergraduate and postgraduate WDF study. We would advise you to refer to the DMU website for further details about the programmes and modules you can study. Application submission deadline dates and full guidance notes are available prior to completing your on line application www.dmu.ac.uk/lbr.

You must complete all details requested on the form to be able to progress to the next screen; you will then be able to submit your application form to your funder for authorisation. You can save your application at any point and return to it at a later date; we would recommend that you save it at regular intervals so you do not lose any information. If you have any queries about this new process please contact the Admissions team by emailing admissions@dmu.ac.uk or call 0116 207 8443.
