The one-year courses, that start this September, were validated by the University of Brighton on June 3 and allow students to complete a Level 6 qualification to achieve a full degree in these specialisms.

Applications are open and Course Leader, Anji Golledge, is encouraging anyone who would like to top up their Level 5 (HND) qualifications, to get in touch and apply.

Anji said: “The successful validation was fantastic news for us. We’re so pleased to be able to offer these courses to students in the local area, who are looking to gain entry into high-level job roles in these incredibly important sectors.

“The BA in Early Years Care and Education and the BSc in Health and Social Care Management top-ups allow students, who have completed a Level 5 in those subjects, to graduate with full honours.

“These new additions also mean that young people can access our incredible support system and expert tuition from college-level right the way up to degree Level 6.”
