Overview

Health and Social Care (Assistant Practitioner, Health) is taught at a number of UK universities, and the entry terms are set department by department rather than nationally. It is a one year foundation course, the year before an undergraduate degree begins.

Teaching in Health Studies combines taught modules with placement or laboratory time, and the placement element is what varies most between departments.

The lowest English requirement we hold on this course is IELTS 6.0, and departments asking more than that usually expect a stronger academic record too. Tuition is £9,500 a year.

If you are comparing this against two or three other courses, send us all of them. We will set the entry terms and the fees side by side.

Careers opportunities

Read carefully whether a course leads to registration with a United Kingdom regulator, because that single fact decides whether you can practise here. Many excellent health courses are academic rather than clinical, and they lead to laboratory, research, industry or public health work instead.

Roles graduates go into

  • Registered practitioner, where the course leads to registration
  • Clinical or research scientist
  • Public health analyst
  • Clinical trials coordinator
  • Health service manager
  • Medical affairs or regulatory officer

Where they work

  • NHS trusts and private providers
  • Pharmaceutical and medical device companies
  • Public health bodies and local authorities
  • University and hospital research groups
  • Contract research organisations
After the course

Where a course is approved, registration with the relevant regulator is the step that lets you practise. Where it is not, the route on is usually a research degree or a specialist scientist training programme.
