BSc (Hons) Top Up
Programme Overview
This one-year Level 6 Top-Up programme builds on the prior
Foundation Degree/HND/Level 5 study of students who want to
progress to achieving a full BSc (Hons) degree. The programme
enhances critical thinking, research, leadership and management
and professional knowledge, as well exploring themes in immunology
and health promotion. You will complete a dissertation on a current
issue in health and benefit from guest lectures, research opportunities
and engagement with debates, all of which build critical thinking,
employability and career prospects. This full time one-year programme
is taught across one full day of back-to-back lectures, making it highly
accessible for those with employment and other commitments.
Entry Requirements
Applicants should hold a Foundation Degree/HND/Level 5 qualification
in an health-related field, ideally along with GCSE Maths and English
at grade 4/C or above (or Level 2 Functional Skills). Mature students
with relevant life or employment experience, or applicants with
equivalent international qualifications, will be considered on a case
by case basis. Experience working in the health or care sectors is
advantageous.
What Can I Do When I Finish?
Graduates may progress into roles such as Senior Support Worker,
Care Manager, Public Health Practitioner, Assistant Practitioner,
or Wellbeing Coordinator as well as potentially other roles within
organisations such as the NHS. Further progression includes postgraduate study in areas such as nursing, midwifery, social work, allied
health postgraduate routes, or master’s study.
