BSc (Hons) Health and Care Management with Foundation

Arden University

Dual recognition matters on Arden University’s BSc (Hons) Health and Care Management with Foundation Year: the honours degree is paired with a Chartered Management Institute Level 5 Diploma in Management and Leadership, and the Institute of Health & Social Care Management endorses the programme. Foundation-year study skills support adults who cannot join a standard undergraduate course on academic grades alone. Weekday full-time delivery across Arden’s multi-city network is listed, and December 2026 is currently an upcoming intake. If your ambition is supervisory or service-coordination work in care rather than a clinical registration route, this title is worth a close read. AF Education helps England-resident home students with free help on applications and Student Finance England checks.

Who this course is for

Choose this if you want a management-focused health and care degree rather than a pure clinical route, and you need a foundation year to open the door. It suits care assistants, team leaders and career changers aiming at supervisory or service-coordination roles.

Entry routes for mature students

Arden typically looks for Level 3 credit or equivalent within recent years; applicants with at least two years’ professional experience may also be considered with a CV and reference. AF Education will confirm the evidence needed for your case.

Funding with Student Finance England

AF Education is a free service for England-resident UK home students — not international applicants. For eligible courses, a Tuition Fee Loan is paid directly to the university and a Maintenance Loan is paid to you for living costs. Eligibility depends on residency and previous study; use our free eligibility checker before you apply.

How often you study

Typical full-time study with these providers is usually 1 to 2 campus days a week, around 2 to 4 hours per day, so many students work alongside their course. Timetables vary by course and campus — always confirm your timetable before you enrol. This Arden course shows weekday full-time delivery; confirm your local campus pattern before enrolment.

Career and progression

The CMI Level 5 diploma sits alongside the degree as a recognised management credential for health and social care settings. Graduates often target team-leader, care-home management support or service-coordination roles; further professional development may still be needed for regulated posts. AF Education does not guarantee jobs.

Course overview from Arden University

Designed to equip you with the skills you need to progress to degree-level study, this programme will help you establish a career within the health and social care sector, even if you don’t have the academic qualifications to join a standard undergraduate degree course. The foundation year is perfect if you need a little extra support to start your journey to higher education, offering study-skills and guidance at every stage.

In addition to being a high quality honours degree, the course is accredited by the Chartered Management Institute (CMI). That means that upon successful completion, you’ll receive the CMI level 5 Diploma in Management and Leadership, demonstrating your ability to succeed in health and social care management roles. The course is endorsed by the Institute of Health & Social Care Management (IHSCM), meaning it’s recognised for its excellence in teaching both management and health and social care skills.

The academic team behind the development and delivery of the course are industry leaders with vast experience within the health and social care sector, including directors at the NHS/IHSCM and digital health tech firms, ensuring the course is directed by the needs of the industry. This also brings a wealth of professional expertise to your learning, providing you with a myriad of opportunities to develop your skills and practice. Finally, guest lecturers and live case studies from our links with the NHS, IHSCM, and Skills for Care will help you learn from real-world experiences and connect with professionals in the field.
