Access to higher education Science

Hey, I’ve done a certificate of higher education in health science with the open university. I’ve checked with a few unis and they accept it. What course are you doing?

Hi! Does anyone know which dht courses are the least competitive?
I mean I know they’re all very competitive , but which have the most spaces? I really want to get in and I am unsure which unis to apply for. I’m deffo thinking LSBU and Essex, kings for inspirational lol.
I applied to Suffolk last year and got an interview but after interview got put on the waiting list, so I’m not sure if I should apply again?
Would really appreciate some help!

Hi does anybody know when does Essix usually open their applications, as it says on the website Autumn 2023 for the entry 2024, but it hasn't opened yet. When did it open last year, we can assume from that I guess?

Hi,
I have done Access Course to Health sciences from Academy Online Learning, its online-based, marked courseworks. I have completed it successfully and received 45 credits which can be used to apply undergraduate degrees. But then it depends on what marks you achieve in the courseworks, such as Pass/ Merit/ Distinction.

I would disagree with this comment, I am a first year DHT student at Cardiff University and there is a huge proportion of mature students, age is irrelevant!
