If you have a keen scientific mind and take a particular interest in biology, the Access to HE Diploma (Science) – Biophysical Pathway, could be your ticket to a bright and successful future. Covering everything from medical physics to human immunity, this course has been designed to provide you with the knowledge you need to get to university.
The units which make up this Access to HE Diploma focus mainly on human biology, cell biology and physics. This specific qualification also offers nuits in academic practices and study skills. These units are particularly useful for learners who have been out of education for some time and do not already meet the university entry requirements.
Studying with us is unlike attending a traditional college. Firstly, you do not need to wait until September to enrol. You can begin your studies as and when it suits you. Secondly, there are no time-consuming classes to attend. All units can be studied online at a time and place that is convenient for the student. This flexibility is perfect for people who have busy work or family lives. It also makes study possible for those who haven’t got any time to sacrifice during school hours.
The course materials couldn’t be easier to understand. Every student will be provided access to the online study resources and will be offered a range of extra support to assist the learning process. Furthermore, each learner will have the support of expert tutors. These tutors can be contacted via phone, email or the online platform, if the student needs support.
How long it takes you to complete your course really depends upon how much time you are able to dedicate to your studies. The programmes are designed to give you the flexibility to study at times that are suitable for you, and to fit your studies around your other commitments. The maximum time you have to complete your Diploma is outlined in your Individual Learning Plan (ILP). The minimum time you can complete your course is six months, on average learners complete their course within 8 to 9 months (the maximum time allowed to complete your diploma is 2 years).
If you ever need help, you can always reach out to other students on your course by using the unique online platforms social learning features.
Every Access to HE Diploma is comprised of a number of units. At the end of each unit, you will have to complete an assignment and return the finished piece of work to a tutor. They will then return the marked piece to you, along with some useful feedback and tips for improvement. Once you have your mark, we are able to provide you with a number of credits. To gain an Access to HE Diploma in science, you will need to earn 60 credits altogether. Of these credits, 45 will be earned by completing graded units which are concerned with academic subject content. The other 15 credits will be drawn from ungraded units. These ungraded units are focussed on improving the student’s study techniques.
The aim of this Access to HE Diploma is to prepare you for the challenges of a biological science related degree. On completion of the course, you should be eligible to apply to study at many of the UK’s higher education institutions.
Once you hold a university undergraduate degree in biological science, you will be able to work towards a number of challenging and exciting careers. You could end up becominga scientist, a healthcare professional or choose from a wide range of other careers areas, such as:
On successful completion of the Open College Network West Midlands Access to Higher Education Diploma (Science) you will receive a QAA recognised Access to HE Diploma at level 3 (QAA ref: 40008848. This course has also been assigned 60 credits.
Learners must have a GCSE in maths and english (or an equivalent), a relevant nvq at level 2 or above and aspire to study a Science related degree at university.
Access to Higher Education Diplomas are widely accepted as an alternative to 'A Levels' for University admission. The programmes have a track record of success in helping students to gain admission to University.
Learners should, however, be aware that Universities each apply their own admissions criteria, and these vary broadly depending on the reputation and popularity of the university and of the degree programme that relates to your area of interest.
These ‘variable’ admission criteria may include but are not limited to:
It is vitally important that each student investigates the entry requirements of a range of universities that they could practically attend to determine if the diploma and unit choices within meet each set of entry requirements.
Students should complete this exercise as early as possible so that they can plan for which establishment they will be applying to, and start to work towards it.
Whilst we have the fullest confidence that the Access to Higher Education Diplomas are compliant and perfectly sufficient to form part of a University application, Stonebridge Associated College will not be able to accept any liability for the inability of any Access to Higher Education learner to secure an offer from a Higher Education establishment due to the ‘variables’ involved.
