Faculty of Health
Welcome to Birmingham City University Faculty of Health! If you’re looking for a course in health and social care, whether you’re still at school or looking for a change in career, this website is designed to help you make the choice of where and what you can study.
We’ll explain the entry requirements and application process for all courses, so you know what is expected of you and how you can make the best of your application. You might be confused about how you apply, and who you need to contact, we’ll help you with that too, explaining the different processes for each level.
What about your level of application? It can be confusing to know the best entry level for you, especially if you have been away from education for a while, or you have decided to completely change your career and re-train. Each of our courses has a breakdown of entry requirements to help you identify your skills level and your entry level.
You should find all of the information you’re looking for on these pages, but if you find you still have questions and would like to speak to someone, please contact the Admissions Team on 0121 331 5500 or by emailing health@bcu.ac.uk.
