**Course overview**
- Our Sexual Health Studies course is the UK’s first ever non-clinical undergraduate specialised degree programme and could lead to a career in sexual health services.
- Foundation Entry degree courses are ideal if you’ve got the ability to study for a degree, but don’t have the necessary formal qualifications to directly join an Honours programme. It’s entirely unique, and a great stepping stone to degree study.
- You’ll develop specialist theoretical knowledge and communication skills to be able to care for clients accessing sexual health services.
- You’ll study a range of different topics including: contraception, unplanned pregnancy, sexual health, asymptomatic screening for STIs, blood borne viruses, sexual health policy, safeguarding, sex and relationships education.
**Why study with us**
- You’ll learn practical skills including: rapid HIV testing, pregnancy testing and asymptomatic screening for Sexually Transmitted Infections (STIs).
- The programme is now more important than ever, with new regulations to make Relationships and Sex Education (RSE) compulsory in schools.
- Our programme links theory with practice and also teaches you the lifelong skills of advanced communication, project management and innovation.
