If you didn’t choose science-based A-levels, or didn’t take A-levels at all, you may be under the impression that a career in medicine or healthcare is simply out of the question. However, thanks to the Access to HE Diploma (Medicine and Health Care Professions), this is no longer the case.
The Access to HE Diploma (Medicine and Health Care Professions) is available to anyone, regardless of their educational background. What’s more is that when it’s successfully completed, it is widely accepted by higher education institutions across the UK. The Access to HE Diploma has also been tailored to suit learners who have been out of education for some time. This Access to HE Diploma provides a balance between academic study and skill development, to ensure students are ready for any challenges higher education throws at them.
It is also worth noting that by studying with us, you don’t have to wait until September to enrol on your course. You can start studying from the moment you sign up; no matter what time of year it is. Students also needn’t worry about attending classes. With distance learning, all units can be studied from the comfort of your own home, as and when you have time.
Once you enrol on your Access to HE Diploma the rest is easy. All of your course materials are easy to understand and are available to you online 24/7. You will be able to study when and where you want and mould your studies around your lifestyle and responsibilities. What’s more is that you will have access to expert tutors, who you can contact either via the online platform, email or phone. If you are struggling with anything, there is no doubt that your tutor will be able to help.
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 do need extra support and encouragement, you can always find it by chatting with your fellow students within the unique online learning platform that you will be given access to.
Your Access to HE Diploma will be made up of a number of units. Assessments will come at the end of the units. These assessments give students a chance to prove how much they have learned. Once your first piece of work is completed, you should send it directly to a tutor. They will then mark it, attach feedback and return it to you. Once you have completed all of the units, we will be able to use your marks to award you with a number of credits. The Access to HE Diploma is a nationally recognised Level 3 qualification, regulated by the Quality Assurance Agency (QAA). In order to achieve the Access to HE Diploma (Medicine and Healthcare Professions), you must achieve 60 credits in total. 45 of the credits you need are taken from graded units. These graded units are focused on academic subject content. The remaining 15 credits are taken from ungraded units which are included to help you to advance your study capabilities.
The goal is for you to be fully prepared, so you can apply to a university and begin your journey on a medicine or healthcare related degree course. After successfully completing an undergraduate course at university, you as a graduate, can enter a wide range of careers. These could include physiotherapy, dentistry, pharmaceuticals and many more.
After completing your Access to HE Diploma (Medicine and Health Care Professions), you should be geared up and ready to tackle university level study. Those who possess this qualification will be able to apply for a whole range of healthcare related courses. We do advise, however, if there is one specific course you are interested in, then please check with your chosen institution first. If you do go on to successfully complete a university degree, you will have a number or career opportunities on your doorstep. These could include:
On successful completion of the Open College Network West Midlands Access to Higher Education Diploma (Medicine & Healthcare Professions) you will receive a QAA recognised Access to HE Diploma at level 3 (QAA ref: (400/0883/6). 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 healthcare 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.
