UWE Health professions foundation year

Yay! Hopefully we hear something soon then! Good luck x

I’ve just been reading lots of old posts about this course and it’s quite hard to get on too isn’t it. Lots of people have tried every year for a few years 😬 only a handful of spaces for each pathway! I’m wondering if I should apply for an access course as a back up just incase!

Hello, I have completed online access to Midwifery and have been offered a place on blended and campus learning for midwifery at UWE starting in September. I would say the access course has the bases to prepare you for uni and I redid my GCSE maths last year to ensure I met all the criteria. My advice do an access course as this give you choice, also completion of the foundation pathway doesn't give you automatic entry on to the degree.

No I think you’re guaranteed a place on your chosen pathway if you complete this course successfully. I’m sure you are 🤔 but going to look into the access course just incase anyway!

I can’t believe how competitive it is! Fingers crossed for us 😬

Hello
I did my access to Midwifery online with Learn direct self-funded. However, there is much online access who now accept the adult learner loan. Tbh I was told by another uni that the foundation pathway is not a guaranteed place onto the full degree otherwise it would be unfair to others who did not choose the foundation pathway, but also it would reduce the available places for the degree cohort. My understanding was you could apply for the degree after completing the foundation year. I may be completely wrong but I would check with UWE. I hope this is not the case and I wish everyone the best of luck gaining a place on the course. xx

I’ve just had my interview email 😬

Any luck? X

Yes, I have an interview, good luck x

Hello,I have my interview on the 11th Jan, does anyone have any advice? I've never done anything like this before so really nervous and unsure what questions will be asked.Good luck all x

I’m not sure, nor have I. I have mine after you. So nervous. What pathway have you chosen? X

Occupational Therapy, I think the fact each pathway chosen has such limited spaces makes it 100x more daunting. I'm guessing the best way to prepare is to research your chosen pathway in enough detail of what they do, what you can bring to the NHS, any specific qualities you may have that make you stand out from others etc .. Good luck x
