Eligibility

UK/EU and international students are eligible to apply for this course. However, we will not be able to support international students who require a Tier 4 Student Visa. Due to restrictions placed on students with a Tier 4 visa undertaking part-time study by the UKVI, courses requiring a placement cannot be studied by International students. You must have been ordinarily resident in the UK for three years at the beginning of the year when your course starts and have full settled status.

Interviews and entrance tests

Entry onto this course requires an interview and skills tests. Our admission team will contact you within four weeks of your UCAS application to inform you whether you have been shortlisted.

If your application is successfully shortlisted, you will be invited to attend a Maths and English test at our Hendon campus. These tests are compulsory even if you meet our Maths and English GCSE application requirements.

If you pass these tests, you will be invited to attend an interview and if you are successful at interview, you will then be offered a place on the course subject to academic, health and DBS requirements.

The course will provide you with opportunities to test your knowledge and understanding informally through ‘formative’ assessment. Formative assessment for this course is provided through essay plans, e-learning log plans, e-numeracy and anatomy and physiology quizzes, poster presentations, group presentations, e-workbooks, mock exam, mock job interviews and practice OSCES-(Objective Structured Clinical Exam) which will provide feedback to support you towards the formal ‘summative’ assessment. (Formative assessments are developmental and any grade you receive from formative assessment does not count towards your final marks).

The formal ‘summative’ assessment usually occurs towards the end of the module, although there may be periodic assessments that contribute to your final mark for that module. Assessment methods could include written examinations, a range of coursework including essays, reports, portfolios, your main final year project, practice based assessment tools, and practical sessions including performance, presentations or lab based exams. The grades from the summative assessments count towards your module mark. Assessments are reviewed annually and may be updated based on student feedback, to suit content or based on feedback from an external examiner.
