PgCert Health and Social Care at University of Greater Manchester

Entry requirements

You may be required to attend an interview with the admissions tutor. This will allow us to explore your prior learning and establish where you may start on the programme. As a modular degree based on continuing professional development, it's essential that your prior experience and learning are considered when deciding on any advanced standing to which you may be entitled. This may be based on qualifications already gained through Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL), or it may be based on making a claim for significant work experience known as Recognition of Prior Experiential Learning (RPEL). This process of granting an applicant appropriate advanced standing will be overseen by the Health Pathway Admissions team and RPL Panel. Normally, you're expected to have successfully completed an honours degree (or equivalent) in a relevant subject and have appropriate work experience. We'll be happy to consider your application if you have a relevant professional qualification and/or substantial experience in a relevant field of practice.
