Health Sciences Open Award

Overview


If you want to progress from your Diploma in Higher Education to a Bachelor of Science, our Health Sciences Open Award is for you.

You will build a bespoke honours degree pathway to suit your background and interests. You will learn from staff at the cutting edge of health and social care. We offer you;

  • a world-class academic community
  • access to invaluable resources, including the library in our John Henry Brookes Building. 

We recognise the workplace as a forum for learning and development. This means you can include work-based learning and link your studies to your professional practice.

We work with local, national and international partners to translate our world-leading research into practical health and social care.

Our open award pathway was previously called the Health and Social Care Student Designed Award.

Learning and assessment


Our Health Sciences Open Award has an accessible and flexible structure. You can combine modules from any of our Faculty’s post-qualification provision, and sometimes from other faculties and institutions. So you can focus on areas which particularly interest you.
