If you have a keen scientific mind and take a particular interest in Biology and Physics, 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 into university.
The units which make up this Access to HE Diploma focus mainly on Human Biology, Cell Biology and Physics. This qualification also includes units in academic writing 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 to provide guidance and support throughout the course.
How long it takes you to complete your course really depends upon how much time you are able to dedicate to your studies. You will be provided with an Individual Learning Plan that outlines the submission deadlines for your assignments to keep you on track throughout your studies. An Access to HE Diploma can be completed within two years. However, on average, learners take 8 to 9 months to complete their course.
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 submit this to your tutor. They will then return the marked piece to you, along with some useful feedback and tips for improvement. Once you have completed all of the assignments included in your course, you will be awarded with the Access to HE Diploma (Science) which is worth 60 credits. To gain an Access to HE Diploma in science, you will need to earn 60 credits altogether. Of these credits, 45 are from the subject specific units included in the programme of study. The other 15 credits will be drawn from ungraded units which focus on improving your study techniques and academic writing skills.
The aim of this Access to HE Diploma is to prepare you for the challenges of a Science related degree. On completion of the Access to HE Diploma, 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 your chosen field, you will be able to work towards a number of challenging and exciting careers. You could end up becoming a scientist, a healthcare professional or choose from a wide range of other careers areas, such as:
Radiography
Optometry
Paramedicine
Scientific Research
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 GCSE in both English and Maths at grade C/4 or above (or equivalent) or be working towards these qualifications. They also need to 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 entry and have a proven track record of helping students to secure a place on their chosen degree.
Learners should, however, be aware that Universities each apply their own entry requirements, 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 Access to HE Diploma, and units included in the course, will meet university 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 Colleges will not be able to accept any liability for the inability of any Access to Higher Education student to secure an offer from a Higher Education establishment due to the variables involved.
