This qualification will help support your progress to higher education on diploma or degree courses in a related subject area. This includes courses such as nursing, social work and occupational therapy. We work in partnership with Sheffield Hallam University and Sheffield University who both offer a range of health and social care related courses. If you don't already have a grade 4 (C) or above in English, Maths or Science, these should be studied alongside the course to make sure that you have qualifications required to apply for HE and health related courses.
