Who this course is for

This suits students who have completed relevant Level 4 study and want to join BSc (Hons) Health and Care Management in year 2.

Entry routes for mature students

This course starts at Level 5 (year 2). Entry normally needs completed Level 4 study worth 120 credits in a relevant subject, or an equivalent such as a relevant HNC or CertHE. AF Education confirms whether your previous study is accepted 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. If you used student finance for earlier study, that can affect what you can borrow, so we check your position first.

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

How often you study

Full-time weekday study is listed at Birmingham, Leeds, London and Manchester. 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. The degree aims to build knowledge and transferable skills valued across related roles.

Year 2 entry or the Level 4 start?

This page is the Level 5 (year 2) entry to the BSc (Hons) Health and Care Management. The Level 4 start of the same degree begins in year 1 and asks for A levels and GCSEs or relevant work experience instead of earlier university-level study. Joining at Level 5 means you study Levels 5 and 6 only, so it typically takes 2 years to the degree rather than 3. You graduate with the same honours award; the difference is where you start, and here successful completion includes the CMI Level 5 Diploma in Management and Leadership, and the course is endorsed by the Institute of Health & Social Care Management. Arden also lists year 2 entry for this degree on a evening timetable (evening year 2 page).

Who can join in year 2

Arden's Level 5 entry requirements ask for completed Level 4 study worth 120 credits in a relevant subject, or an equivalent such as a relevant HNC or CertHE, with supporting evidence of prior learning. An HNC or CertHE in health and social care, or Level 4 study in care management, is the kind of prior learning this route is built around. AF Education confirms with Arden whether your previous study is accepted before you apply. This route is for UK home students living in England.

Student Finance when you have studied before

Previous study changes how many years of Tuition Fee Loan you get. GOV.UK says the number of years is normally the length of your current course plus 1 year, minus the number of years of previous study, and even a short time on a course counts as a year; any years left are applied to the final years of the course (source: GOV.UK). For a 2-year year 2 entry after one year of earlier higher education study, that works out as 2 + 1 − 1 = 2 years. The full-time Tuition Fee Loan for 2026/27 is up to £9,790, and a Maintenance Loan is up to £14,135 at the London campuses or up to £10,830 if you live away from home outside London (source: GOV.UK). AF Education can check your previous study before you apply.

Your weekday daytime week

Year 2 entry runs on a weekday daytime timetable at London (Ealing and Holborn and Stratford), Birmingham, Manchester and Leeds. The next intake is December 2026. Campus courses like this typically need 1 to 2 campus days a week at about 2 to 4 hours a day, plus independent study, and your exact timetable is confirmed by Arden before you enrol.
