Minimum 2:1 undergraduate honours degree in a relevant subject. Minimum grade of BBB at A Level. Subject requirement We accept degrees in any subject including a substantial element of human or animal biology. We assess each application on the basis of the applicant’s preparation and achievement as a whole. We may accept applicants whose qualifications don’t meet the published entry criteria but have other experience relevant to the course. English language requirements: IELTS 7.5 (with 7 in each component) or University equivalent. Applicants that are successful in our initial shortlisting process will be invited to an interview. Disclosure and Barring Service All applicants who are offered and accept a place on this course are required to undergo a Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) Enhanced Disclosure check in order to study with us. Health clearance If you are infected with hepatitis C or HIV, or if you have a disability, medical condition or learning difficulty, including dyslexia, you must disclose this on your UCAS form. All potential students with significant support needs will be individually assessed to ensure that the University is able to support them on the course. All new students will undergo health screenings known as an Occupational Health Check, which may require an individual assessment. This is to ensure that you meet the fitness to practise standards detailed on the Higher Education Occupational Practitioners (HEOPS) guidance and is in accordance with the Department of Health National Guidelines. We offer support to students with additional needs, for example, through the Disability and Dyslexia Support Service or Student and Academic Services. You can find out more about the network of support services we provide. A very small number of conditions might, on health and safety grounds, affect your registration with the appropriate regulatory body and your ability to practise in certain clinical situations. Excluded Student Database Institutions educating healthcare professionals share limited information about fitness to practise exclusions via the Excluded Student Database. Any applicants who are identified as recorded on the database will be further investigated. If you are found to be on the Excluded Students Database, a rejection decision may be returned, or an offer of study may be withdrawn. Clinical student entry agreement As part of the admissions process, applicants will be asked to sign a clinical student entry agreement that sets out standards and behaviours that are expected of those working in the profession.
