Who is it for?

Health is a vital field that we all depend upon as the Covid pandemic has clearly demonstrated to us all. This T level is a 2 year course, equivalent to 3 A Levels but with a more vocational focus in Adult Nursing and designed to provide you with the skills, experience and knowledge required to progress into a career in Adult Nursing. You’ll gain in-depth industry experience via a work placement in the healthcare sector so you have more focus on vocational skills development than A Levels. This will help you into skilled employment in Health, or progress to University or an Apprenticeship.

Studying at College helped me to become more independent, as well as giving me the practical writing skills I needed to prepare for university study. I feel more than ready to start my Biomedical Sciences Degree at Oxford Brookes University.
