GCSE grade A*-C (grade 9-4 in England) in English and Mathematics are also required. 

If this course interests you but you don’t have the entry requirements to join the apprenticeship you could consider: 

• ‘with Foundation Year’. This route is designed to give you extra support as it provides you with an additional year (full-time) of supported study.   &²Ô²ú²õ±è;

Once you successfully complete your Foundation Year studies, you will automatically advance onto the full time degree option where available in this subject.  &²Ô²ú²õ±è;

• Certificate in Higher Education (CertHE). This is a one-year course and is equivalent to the first year of the three year, full-time bachelor’s degree.  &²Ô²ú²õ±è;

Once you have successfully completed your CertHE studies, you will be eligible to progress for the remaining two years of the full time bachelor’s degree option in this subject.  

These are ideal routes if you are not in employment in the sector, are returning to study after a gap, if you have not previously studied this subject, or if you did not achieve the grades you need for a place on this apprenticeship.   &²Ô²ú²õ±è;

Assessments used within these Programmes are normally formative or summative. In the former assessment is designed to ensure students become aware of their strengths and weaknesses.

Typically, such assessment will take the form of practical exercises where a more hands-on approach shows student’s ability on a range of activities. Traditional formal time-constrained assessment is by means of tests and examinations, normally of two-hour duration. 

Examinations are a traditional method of verifying that the work produced is the students’ own work. To help authenticate student coursework, some modules require that the student and lecturer negotiate the topic for assessment on an individual basis, allowing the lecturer to monitor progress.

Some modules where the assessment is research-based require students to verbally/visually present the research results to the lecturer and peers, followed by a question and answer session.

Such assessment strategies are in accord with the learning and teaching strategies employed by the team, that is, where the aim is to generate work that is mainly student-driven, individual, reflective and where appropriate, vocationally-orientated.

Feedback to students will occur early in the study period and continue over the whole study session thereby allowing for greater value added to the student’s learning.
