OCNSER Access to HE: Allied Health Professions Level 3

This course is primarily intended for those wishing to enter nurse training or similar medically based vocations. Each of the options emphasises study skills and has a social theory strand. Students attend College for 3/4 days per week within school hours for one academic year.

Students normally study the following combinations: Psychology, Human Physiology, Sociology and Study Skills.

In the final section of the course students do a research project on an area of their own choice which has been agreed with the tutors.

Areas students have looked at have been as diverse as: Self Help Groups Alcoholism Fluoridation of Water Supply Autism Asthma in Primary School Children Eating Disorders Lupus: Cause & Effect

Students wishing to progress to Midwifery and certain nursing courses (e.g. Children’s Nursing) may need GCSE Maths & English. We advise all students to contact the relevant HE establishments for advice.

Students wishing to progress to Physiotherapy courses should apply for an Access to Science course.
