Access to Public & Uniformed Services
Access to Higher Education Diploma in Social Science Pathway
Career opportunities
You can apply to universities for a Public or Uniformed Services related degree course which can lead to careers in:
- Armed Forces
- Central and local government
- Fire Service
- Health & Social Care
- Police
- Voluntary sector
Acquiring the knowledge and skills to become a professional involves training and study at degree level but there is a range of vital support roles that require no set academic qualifications for which an Access Diploma is an ideal way to maximise your job prospects.
Who are Access Courses for?
Access Courses are designed for people who would like to study at university but who left school without the usual qualifications, such as 'A' levels or GCSEs. They are also useful for changing career, entering employment supporting professionals and accessing work-based training.
Entry requirements - there are no specific entry requirements. We recommend you contact your preferred university to ask about their particular entry requirements before you start, so we can advise on the best pathway for you. We also provide GCSE equivalences to add to your Access Diploma.
What do you study?
All Social Science pathways lead to the same qualification. The Public & Uniformed Services specialisms arise from the choice of Modules you study.
Specialist subject areas include: Research Methods, Child Development & Welfare, Adolescence, Adulthood & Old Age, Social Conflict, Social Interaction, Psychopathology, Perspectives in Psychology, Issues in Social Work, Biological Health & Disease.
