The University of Cumbria's course is designed with a range of engaging modules to allow students to develop their professional and personal skills.
This foundation year course will provide students with the skills to allow them to pursue their ideal career by either progressing onto a professional health course or by completing the four-year degree to hit the ground running in a role within the contemporary Health and Social Care sector.
This Integrated Foundation Year entry route offers an alternative supportive route for students who may not have the required entry qualification for direct entry onto some of the level 4 program, or those who may have taken an extended break from education. By successfully completing the first year of this program they may be able to apply to transfer onto one of the University of Cumbria's health professional programs.
In this course students will:
- Have the option to transfer onto one of the health professional program or progress onto the full health and social care degree at the end of the Integrated Foundation Year.
- Study a range of engaging modules that will develop confidence in academic skills so that they are prepared for further study.
- Be taught by expert lecturers who have professional experience from across the Institute of Health, covering a spectrum of health and social care professions.
- Become part of an active and vibrant community of like-minded Institute of Health students who want to make a difference.
- Access pastoral and academic support that is embedded in the program to guide them on their journey into higher education, with a Student Development Coordinator providing advice and guidance.
