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.
