If you already hold a degree but it is not in a health-related subject, it is essential that you check the specific entry requirements for your chosen university and course before making any further study decisions. Each university sets its own admissions criteria, and these can vary significantly depending on the programme and institution.

Some universities may accept applicants with an existing degree outside of the health sciences, especially if additional qualifications, such as an Access to Higher Education (HE) Diploma (Health Science Professions), are completed. However, others may have strict subject-specific entry requirements, or may require you to have studied certain subjects at Level 3 or GCSE level (such as Biology, Mathematics, or English).

Because entry requirements can differ widely, we strongly advise that you visit the official website of each university you are considering and carefully review the admission criteria for your chosen degree course. Alternatively, you can contact the university admissions teams directly for detailed advice.

At Academy Online Learning, we can support your academic journey with our Access to HE Diplomas, but it remains the responsibility of each student to confirm that they are meeting the necessary university requirements before enrolling. Planning ahead will help you avoid unnecessary delays and ensure that your educational path is as smooth as possible.

Taking the time to check university entry requirements now could save you time, effort, and expense later.
