Qualification Requirements
We normally require you to have an Upper Second class degree or above. This can be in any subject area. Relevant employment and/or personal experience within a health or social care setting is highly desirable. If you have a Lower Second classification degree, your application will be considered on a case-by-case basis depending on your experience. Students must also have GCSE English grade C/4 by the start of the course. We do not accept other Level 2 qualifications as equivalent to GCSE English or Maths (eg Functional Skills) and will only consider specific international qualifications as equivalents. International students must demonstrate English proficiency through a secure and approved testing system. We ask for English language proof if you are from non-majority English speaking countries (a list of majority English speaking countries, as defined by the UK Home Office, can be found here ). Specifically, we require a minimum of: IELTS overall score of 7 or above with no element below 6.5, or TOEFL minimum of 600 (paper-based); 250 (computer-based); 100 (internet-based), or GCSE English grade C (a Grade 4 in the newly reformed GCSEs in England) or above, or evidence of equivalent learning that is accepted by the University.
