Entry Requirements

Offers will usually be based on UCAS tariff of 160 points from at
least one of the following:

  • BTEC National Diploma/ Certificate/Award in a related area
  • Advanced/Extended Diploma in a related area
  • A Levels, preferably one of these would be in a science or technology subject
  • Access to Higher Education course, including science at Level 3.

If you do not possess the relevant entry requirements, relevant
industrial experience may be taken into account. Applicants will be assessed on an individual basis.

If you intend to progress to the top-up stage you will also need
Maths and English GCSE C or above or equivalent. It is possible
to study these qualifications alongside the Foundation Degree.
However you would be at an advantage if you obtained these before starting the course.

Progression

  • Pursue a career as a technical officer in the field of environmental health
  • Progress to the final year of the Honours Degree in Environmental Health. If you wish to progress to the Honours Degree you will require Maths and English at GCSE grade C or above. Many students then move on to training with an environmental health provider for a further year. Once the professional CIEH exam and portfolio have been passed this will accredit you as an Environmental Health Practitioner (EHP).
