**Course overview**: This 2 year full-time course includes an integrated foundation year, ideal if you don’t have the appropriate subjects and/or grades to go straight into year one. The course is closely linked to our BSc (Hons) Health Sciences course and is designed for those who plan to apply for a place on one of our pre-registration courses such as such as nursing, midwifery, paramedic practice, physiotherapy and diagnostic radiography, allowing you to develop the knowledge and understanding of a broad range of health-related topics and professional skills in preparation for your application.
Completion of the Cert HE will help you with any future UCAS application^ to study a course in our Nursing, Midwifery & Health Professions leading to eligibility for professional registration, but does not in itself guarantee a place, as other entry criteria apply. Offers are made to eligible candidates on a competitive basis following a selection process.
^Please check the full entry criteria, including any Level 2 (for example, GCSE) requirements, for your chosen pre-registration course.
Your Cert HE also gives you access to most of our undergraduate courses in Life & Physical Sciences and Crime, Forensics & Investigative Sciences.
For some courses, your Cert HE enables you to apply for entry to the second year of study. This is possible for the following courses:
• BSc (Hons) Biological Sciences
• BSc (Hons) Nutrition
• BSc (Hons) Food Science and Technology
• BSc (Hons) Health Sciences
• BSc (Hons) Human Biology
