Access to HE: Nursing, Midwifery and Allied Health Fast-Track (Blended)

This is a fast course, which starts in January and ends in time for learners who join it to progress to university in September 2025. It is designed for people aged 18 or over and is perfect for anyone looking to start a career in nursing, midwifery or any of the allied health professions, or considering changing careers to work in these fields.

A career in any nursing and midwifery-focussed profession empowers you to help people, working in a variety of positions and a wide choice of specialties.

We have a highly skilled and experienced teaching team, and this is one of the reasons we see success and progression to university rates significantly above the national average.

The course is well-established and widely accepted by universities, providing you with UCAS tariff points that are equivalent to three A Levels.

Subjects/Topics Covered

The Access to HE Diploma in Nursing and Midwifery is designed to prepare students for entry into a range of undergraduate programs in the allied health professions. The subjects covered in this course typically include:

Human Biology: students will learn about the structure and function of the human body, including the cardiovascular, respiratory, digestive, and nervous systems.

Psychology: within this topic you will explore a range of studies relating to human behaviour and to mental health conditions and the range of treatments and therapies which are successful in supporting recovery from them.

Research and Referencing: students will learn about research methods used in medical and healthcare fields, including qualitative and quantitative research. Study Skills: This module covers communication skills that are essential for success in the social sciences, including verbal and written communication, presentation skills, and teamwork.

Assessment Method

The Access to HE Diploma is designed to reflect the rigor and demands of undergraduate study. It includes a range of assessment methods such as essays, reports, exams, presentations, and portfolios. The assessments will be spread throughout the year, and you will receive regular feedback to help you progress and develop your skills.

Study Time

You will study in college for 12 hours (two days) a week and complete another 6 hours of study using online self-directed learning at times to suit you. If you are prepared to study hard, this is a great flexible course to fit around your lifestyle and working commitments - voluntary or paid work within related fields will strengthen your university application and is recommended.

The assessment submission deadlines on this course are more regular than the September start courses, so if you wish to enrol, you must be in a position to commit a lot of time to studying. In addition to the 6 hours of self-directed learning at home, Access courses require at least one day per week of further research and independent study.
