About this Course

Our Access to HE Diplomas give you the opportunity to apply for a degree in a health profession, such as Podiatry, Operating Department Practice (ODP), Occupational Therapy (OT), Dental Science and Speech and Language Therapy.

The Level 2 course gives learners the opportunity to build the essential skills and qualifications needed to progress to any of our Access to HE courses. The course comprises core modules in biology, sociology, psychology and study skills, as well as GCSEs in English and maths.

The range of work undertaken throughout the course ensures learners develop both academic and study skills and is designed to help applicants build a solid learning foundation in a welcoming and supportive environment. We want to help you to develop your subject knowledge and academic skills, but also to build new relationships, confidence and self-esteem.
