LutubeÊÓƵ

This one year, full-time course will help you achieve the qualification you need to gain entry to a degree course in nursing and midwifery.

You will study the following academic modules:
• Biology
• Health Studies OR Extended Biology

These modules then contain a variety of units, including:
• Diet & Digestion
• The Human Cardiovascular System
• Human Reproduction
• Delivery of Healthcare
• Health Promotion

In addition, you’ll study a selection of developmental skills units that underpin the research, essay writing, study and critical skills required for this course, and which will support your future academic studies at university.

You will need English and Maths GCSEs at grades 9-4 (A-C) prior to enrolling on this course.

You may also need additional GCSEs if they’re required for entry to your chosen university course, so you’re advised to investigate potential university progression routes to establish the specific entry requirements they may require.

You’ll be assessed in a variety of ways including essays, presentations, timed assignments and workbooks. Although there is no formal examination, you are expected to work on assignments in your own time as part of directed study.

This course is highly demanding, both academically and in terms of demands on your time.

You will have four taught sessions per week, equating to approximately 10 hours of contact time in College.

In addition, you’ll be expected to participate in independent study to prepare for future lessons and assignments, and it’s advisable that you also have in place suitable vocationally-specific workplace experience, as this will enhance your university application.

Studying at College

The health and safety of our learners and staff is still very important to us and so there may continue to be an element of study outside of the classroom during the, academic year. The proportion of these hours will depend on the individual qualification(s) being undertaken. You must do the work set during these times or it will impact your progress on the course and therefore your achievement.
