Midland University

What you'll study

This programme combines foundation biomedical topics with applied modules in health systems, prevention and professional practice. Core areas typically include human anatomy and physiology, pathophysiology, pharmacology basics, and clinical skills. Students also study public health, epidemiology, health promotion, health policy and ethics, alongside modules on communication, research methods and statistics.

The degree balances classroom-based theory with practical, skills-focused learning: simulation sessions, case-based learning, and supervised placements in health or community settings. Optional modules allow specialisation in areas such as mental health, long-term conditions, healthcare management, ageing and rehabilitation. A final-year research project or practice-based capstone gives experience in evidence appraisal, service evaluation or applied research.

Entry requirements

Applicants should hold a secondary-school qualification equivalent to UK A-levels, the International Baccalaureate or a vocational qualification such as a BTEC National Diploma. Typical offers combine passes in science-related subjects (for example biology or chemistry) with an overall academic profile commensurate with undergraduate entry. Mature applicants and those with relevant health-related work or volunteering experience are welcomed; selection may consider personal statements and references.

All students will be required to meet health and safeguarding requirements before placement, which may include occupational health clearance, an enhanced criminal record check (or relevant national equivalent), and up-to-date immunisations. English language competence is required for applicants whose first language is not English.

Career prospects

Graduates move into a wide range of roles across the health sector, local government, charities and private providers. Typical roles include health promotion officer, commissioning or service support roles, clinical support worker, assistant practitioner, policy or programme officer, and roles in health education and community support.

Many students use the degree as a platform for further professional training or study — for example postgraduate conversion courses, nursing and allied health professional training, public health masters, or clinical and research pathways. The programme also provides a foundation for roles in clinical research, health informatics, commissioning and healthcare management.
