Overview

A year zero foundation programme, designed for mature students who have typically been out of formal education for some time or who have taken non-traditional qualifications, which leads to access onto the Diagnostic Radiography BSc programme. The University of Liverpool, in collaboration with local FE partners, has developed a year zero foundation programme for Home students that leads to access onto a variety of vocational Health Studies programmes. Our Foundation to Human and Animal Health Professions (Diagnostic Radiography) course is for students seeking entry to undertake the Diagnostic Radiography BSc (B821) programme. Students seeking entry to Diagnostic Radiography will study a foundation year (year zero) atCarmel College, St Helens, about nine miles from the university campus, where the class sizes are small and the standards of academic achievement high. This programme is specifically targeted at Home/EU mature and non-traditional students, who typically have taken a break from studies. Please note that we will not consider applications from prospective students who have multiple UCAS applications for a variety of programmes, as this does not demonstrate a clear commitment. For further information on how to apply to this programme please contact:shs@liverpool.ac.uk.
