Access to Higher Education in Healthcare
The Access to Higher Education Diploma is a qualification that prepares people without traditional qualifications for study at university.
Our Access to Higher Education in Healthcare pathway includes a variety of units, including:
- Sociology: development of social welfare; poverty and housing; and social Policy
- Health Studies: developing of professional practice in healthcare; health Promotion, and an introduction to safeguarding
- Biology: human biology; basic anatomy and physiology
- Further skills: communicating through speaking and listening; reading and writing skills. Application of numbers using calculation. Application of numbers using data interpretation.
The courses are nationally-recognised Level 3 qualifications designed to prepare adults to study in higher education. Courses are designed, in particular, for people who have been out of education for some time, especially those who left school with too few qualifications to be able to go straight to university. Access to HE courses provide a good foundation in the knowledge and skills required for studying at university level so that students are confident and well prepared when they go on to higher education.
All courses have been designed to give academic subject knowledge and the opportunity to learn how to approach study at university level and develop techniques to help students succeed
Student success
I moved to the UK from Romania towards the end of 2013 with almost no school education and with no knowledge of the English language. With the desire of learning, I enrolled at Milton Keynes College.
With my hard work, determination and persistence I have passed GCSE English, GCSE Maths and BTEC Business Administration. I now have a strong will and self-belief to achieve more. With the same passion and greater interest, I am continuing my journey of learning this year with ‘Access to HE in Computer Science’.
