Open University BSc Health Science

Hello,
Im about to finish my second year in Open University doing Health Science course.
Unfortunately, I wasn't aware that the course is not accredited, and now realising that I dont know what should i do after i finish this degree. Maybe someone knows where i can possibly do some extra courses to get accreditation. Or if it is possible to transfer to another university to finish the degree with accreditation.
Im located in Grantham.
I would highly appreciate any advice as im so lost now.

The OU's BSc (Hons) Health Science is built as a general course, for you to find what part of the field you are most interested in. This design is for you to go on to study Master's and/or PhD. Don't worry about it not being professionally accredited, employers and universities recognise the OU and how amazing they are.

Do you want to go and study a postgraduate qualification? Working in health sciences would be a lot easier if you have such a qualification. Hope this helps :smile:

Hi what did you decide to do? I know you can get it assessed by IBMS and then top up on modules to have it accredited if you want to work in nhs
