FdA in Health and Social Care

Newcastle Group

The FdA in Health and Social Care is a full-time weekday Foundation Degree designed with industry input so practical learning sits at the centre of the award. Course notes reference partnership themes with organisations such as the NHS, St Johns Ambulance, local care homes and community foodbank settings, keeping skills close to workplace realities. Study is listed at Canary Wharf in London. It can suit school leavers and mature learners entering care-sector roles who want a foundation-degree step rather than a full bachelor’s yet. Canary Wharf weekday delivery places care study inside a dense London employment market for support roles. Compassion-led care with workplace-linked skills development is how the Foundation Degree frames its Canary Wharf weekday offer. AF Education gives UK home students free help with the application and with Student Finance England.

Who this course is for

This suits school leavers and mature learners who want a Foundation Degree with practical, workplace-linked study in health and social care.

Entry routes for mature students

Foundation Degree entry typically needs a UK Level 3 qualification (with credit requirements as stated ), or an assessed experience route. AF Education confirms what applies to you before you apply.

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.

Check your Student Finance eligibility — free, takes about 2 minutes.

How often you study

Full-time weekday study is listed at London. Most courses AF Education supports need 1 to 2 campus days a week, usually about 2 to 4 hours a day, so many students keep working. Your exact timetable is confirmed before you enrol.

Career and progression

AF Education does not guarantee jobs or progression. A Foundation Degree can support care-sector roles and, where grades and places allow, later top-up to a full bachelor’s.
