Access to HE diplomas are designed for people who do not have the qualifications to enter a university-level course but who do have life experience and a willingness to learn. Access to HE diplomas are intensive courses offered over a single year on a part-time basis as an alternative way to university for people who have not had the opportunity to achieve the entry requirements necessary during their earlier education. The Health Professionals diploma enables students to progress to a variety of degrees, including but not limited to; nursing (adult, children or mental health), midwifery, social work, paramedic science, psychology, ODP and education. There are a number of different units included in this course depending on the pathway chosen, including academic study skills, human biology, chemistry, psychology, sociology and health. The workload on the Access to HE course is high and it is essential learners are fully prepared for this intense way to study. During the course you will be supported to apply to universities using the UCAS application process. This process begins on the first day of your course.
All applicants will require a GCSE Grade C or 4 and above in English, Maths and Science, and a knowledge of the universities and courses they would like to progress to. Some universities will accept functional skills in English and maths, so depending on your university or course this may be acceptable. Students looking to study degrees in any health, social care or education subject will require experience in a relevant area (either through work or volunteering).
