Introduction to Biological and Health Sciences (Pre-Access)

This pre-access qualification is designed to lead onto a level three course, to give you the knowledge, core skills and confidence to progress. This course would prepare you to access and undertake, for example, an Access to HE Diploma (Biological Sciences) which is a recognised qualification for progression to University and could lead onto many different careers including: nursing, midwifery, physiotherapy and biological based degrees.

This full-time course is designed for mature students who want to access university but don't currently have the required qualifications. The course is designed to run alongside individual GCSE courses in English and/or Maths depending on individual needs. If you don't hold a grade C or above in GCSE English and/or maths - it is expected that you enrol on the relevant GCSEs when commencing this course in order to ensure that the required qualifications for progression are possessed.

It is an intensive programme but will assist you with study skills, confidence building and developing a basic understanding of Human Biology, Health and Disease, as well as future career planning in preparation for applying for a level three course. Your learning will take place alongside like-minded people in a supportive environment with experienced, friendly tutors.
