FdA with Preparatory Year Extended Degree Programme
This course is designed for potential students who have the ability to study for a Sheffield Hallam University degree but do not meet the requirements for direct entry into undergraduate-level programmes.
The anticipated student market for this proposal is as follows:
• Students with an incorrect mix of A-Level (or other level 3) subjects, or higher education qualifications in inappropriate subjects, whereby the subjects are not adequately prepared for their chosen degree subject;
• Students with A-level (or other level 3 qualifications) in relevant subjects but with grades (or UCAS point totals) below those required for entry at level 4.
• Applicants with A-levels or equivalent UCAS points achieved more than five years ago where the currency of the applicant’s knowledge has not been maintained over the intervening time;
• Mature applicants who lack formal qualifications and/or skills or whose formal qualifications and/or skills are insufficient or inappropriate for entry at level 4;
• Applicants who have not engaged in post-compulsory education;
• Overseas applicants who have formal qualifications but who would benefit from greater underpinning knowledge and experience of UK higher education practice prior to study at level 4.
All students are subject to UCEN Manchester’s Terms and Conditions from the date they accept an offer to study here, full details of which can be found here. The UCEN Manchester Admissions Policy and Procedure can be found here.
